Poetry at the GBF, Part 2
In honor of National Poetry Month, we thought we’d highlight the poets who will be talking about their work at this year’s festival.
This post is the second in a two-part post to do so. Our first two poets were featured on Monday. If you’re familiar with either poets’ work, we encourage you to post in the comments with your favorite poem(s)…
Poet Eric Pankey is the author of nine collections of poetry, most recently “Trace.” He is the Heritage Chair in Writing at George Mason University and his work has been supported by fellowships from the Ingram Merrill Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. His poems have appeared widely in journals such as Poetry, The New Yorker, The New Republic and The Yale Review.
Elizabeth Winder is the author of the biography “Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953″ and one poetry collection. Her work also has appeared in the Chicago Review, Antioch Review, American Letters and other publications.
