Join us as we welcome Ilya Kaminsky for the next reading in the John Barr Reading Series, made possible by the generosity of the Poetry Foundation’s first president. This series annually selects one or two poets of extraordinary accomplishment and promise. Winner of the 2005 Whiting Award in Poetry, Kaminsky is the author of Deaf Republic and Dancing in Odessa. His honors include an American Academy of Arts and Letters Metcalf Award and a Ruth Lilly Poetry Fellowship.
