John Koethe - "Walking Backwards"
Friday, November 9, 2018 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm
John Koethe reads from Walking Backwards: Poems 1966-2016. A Q&A and signing will follow the reading.
About the book: John Koethe’s poems―always dynamic and in process, never static or complete―luxuriate in the questions that punctuate the most humdrum of routines, rendering a robust portrait of an individual: complicated, quotidian, and resounding with truth. Gathering for the first time his impressive and award-winning body of work, published between 1966 and 2016, Walking Backwards introduces this gifted poet to a new, wider readership.
About the author: John Koethe has published eleven books of poetry, and has received the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, and the Frank O'Hara Award. He has also published books on Ludwig Wittgenstein, philosophical skepticism, and poetry, and is the Distinguished Professor or Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
