Join us in honoring the life, work and legacy of seminal poet and scholar Tyrone Williams.
Poets, colleagues, and friends including Pat Clifford, Latasha N. Nevada Diggs, Thom Donovan, Barbara Henning, Erica Hunt, Brenda Iijima, Pierre Joris, Burt Kimmelman, Mike Lala, Andrew Levy, C.J. Martin, and Julie Patton will read work by and about Williams.
Bring your remembrance! We’ll have an open-mic for everyone who wishes to contribute their reflections on their dear friend and colleague.
Refreshments will be served.
Tyrone Williams taught literature and theory at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio for four decades. He is the author of several chapbooks and five books of poetry: c.c., On Spec, The Hero Project of the Century, Adventures of Pi, and Howell. A limited-edition art project, Trump l’oeil, was published in 2017.
