The 2017-2018 season of the Yale Graduate Poets Reading Series continues on Wednesday, November 29, at 6:00pm in Linsly-Chittenden Hall, Room 319, with a very special reading by Michael Kelleher. Kelleher will be reading from his exciting new collection Visible Instruments, out last month from Chax Press. About Kelleher’s work, Richard Deming writes, “One trusts the secrets that Kelleher's poems share. With their precision, their quietness, their frequently keen but subtle wit, these poems enter the ear and the mind as intimately as a sudden sense of wonder just before 'the roof gives way to the stars.'”

Michael Kelleher is an American poet. He is the author of four collections of poems, Visible Instruments (Chax Press, 2017), Museum Hours (BlazeVOX Books, 2016) Human Scale (BlazeVOX Books, 2007) and To Be Sung (BlazeVOX Books, 2005). His poems and essays have appeared at The Brooklyn Rail, Sentence: A Journal of Prose Poetics, The Colorado Review, ecopoetics, and many others. He has read his work throughout the U.S., in Canada, the U.K., and Africa, and also as part of the Encuentro del Poesia Del Lenguaje in Havana, Cuba, in 2001. With Ammiel Alcalay, he founded OlsonNow, a project devoted to the poetry and poetics of Charles Olson. From 2008-2013, he produced a blog project called "Aimless Reading", in which he daily photographed, catalogued, and wrote about the more than 1200 titles in his personal library. He is the former Artistic Director of Just Buffalo Literary Center, where in 2007 he founded Babel, an international author lecture series, at which he conducted live, on-stage interviews with authors such as Orhan Pamuk, V.S. Naipaul, and Salman Rushdie. In 2012, he was appointed the founding Director of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prizes at Yale University.

We’ll have copies of Visible Instruments and Museum Hours available for purchase at the reading.
