Tuesday, May 1, 2001 at 4:30pm
The Poetry Center at Stony Brook
Humanities Building, Room 239
This is the rescheduled March 6, 2001 reading which was canceled
due to snow.
Robin Becker will be reading from her latest book The Horse Fair,
part of the Pitt Poetry Series from the University of Pittsburgh
Press. Becker asks questions about citizenship and participation
in the marketplaces -- of bodies, of ideas, of objects ? in which
we function. She investigates how individuals marginalized by
gender, religion, and sexual preference negotiate public and
private spheres while inventing sustainable communities.
Becker's fourth collection, All-American Girl, won the 1996
Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Poetry. She has also won the
1997 Virginia Faulkner Prize for Excellence in Writing from
Prairie Schooner magazine. Her poems and book reviews have
appeared in publications including American Poetry Review,
Gettysburg Review, and Ploughshares. For info call 631-632-9983
