Poetry at ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍøâ€”Spring 2021

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | In this craft class we'll read poems that enact varieties of knowing. We'll also do one or two brief exercises to bring more forgetting, wondering, self-correction, and simple questioning—authentic questioning—to our poems.

Catherine Barnett is the author of three books of poetry, Human Hours (Graywolf, 2018), winner of the Believer Book Award); The Game of Boxes (Graywolf, 2012), winner of the Academy of American Poets James Laughlin Award for Best Second Book; and Into Perfect Spheres Such Holes Are Pierced (Alice James, 2004). Her work has appeared in Best American Poetry, ¿­ÐýÃŹÙÍø Review, Kenyon Review, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, Poetry, and The Washington Post. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Whiting Writers’ Award, she is a member of the core faculty in the NYU MFA Program in Creative Writing, a Distinguished Lecturer at Hunter College and a Visiting Professor at Barnard College. She lives in New York City, where she also works as an independent editor.
