We have a slate of terrific visitors lined up: two that came years ago and have been at the top of the list of people our members wanted to come back. I'll paste the dates of our sessions below. As ever, we have a preliminary discussion about the poet's work in advance of his/her visit and then the author joins us for an open conversation about the work. And books are provided to regular members (or those fairly confident they will be at the sessions devoted to that particular poet).</div><div><br></div><div>Our sessions always fall on a Friday and run from 3 PM- 5 PM in room 116 of the Whitney Humanities Center. Everyone is welcome to attend--so please do feel free to spread the word to interested parties.</div><div><br></div><div><p><strong>Fall 2014 Schedule</strong></p><p>September 12 — Discussion of Ann Lauterbach’s work<br>
