Featuring Jason Whitmarsh

Jason Whitmarsh will read from his recent book of poems, Tomorrow’s Living Room, winner of the 2009 May Swenson Poetry Award. Some of the poems in this dazzling collection first appeared in magazines including The Antioch Review, Denver Quarterly, Fence, The Harvard Review, Ploughshares, Verse, and The Yale Review. Billy Collins (judge for the 2009 competition, distinguished poet, and former U.S. Poet Laureate) says of this collection, “Jason Whitmarsh has carved out a verbal territory for himself unlike anyone else’s. It is the kind of voice that whistles for our attention.”
