Minnesota poet Anders Carlson-Wee joins us for a reading at the UP Bookstore at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 9. Sporting a vagabond soul (having train-hopped and bicycled across the length of America multiple times), he was taught by the likes of poets Dorianne Laux, B.H. Fairchild, and Mark Jarman. His work probes the subjects of toxic masculinity, the rewarding risks of mobility, the brutality of brothers, and the kindness of strangers. Learn more about him here. For a preview of his work, see the five poems attached to his listing in the English Dept’s Visiting Writers website, which includes his 16-minute poetry-film on train hopping “Riding the Highline.” For more information contact Lars Larson, English, larson@up.edu.
