ARTHUR SZE at Seattle Public Central Library |
Co-presented with THE WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY and COPPER CANYON PRESS. A pleasure it is to have award-winning poet Arthur Sze back in Seattle from his Santa Fe home. He is the author of nine collections of poetry and/or translations, the last five of which—Archipelago, The Redshifting Web, The Silk Dragon, Quipu, and now The Gingko Light—have all come from Copper Canyon Press. Released this past spring, The Gingko Light is one of the year's most assured, luminous books. "Whether incorporating nature, philosophy, history, or science, Sze's poems are expansive. They unfold like the time-slowed cinematic recording of a flower's blooming ... Sze has a refreshingly original sensibility and style, and he approaches writing like a collagist by joining disparate elements into a cohesive whole." - Booklist. Free admission. The Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). Special $5 coupons for the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending the reading. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, The Seattle Public Library at (206) 386-4636, or see www.spl.org. Special thanks to The Seattle Public Library Foundation and The Seattle Times.
