Poet Aaron Shurin will read from his new book Flowers & Sky: Two Talks which brings together two lectures and a suite of unpublished poems by one of our finest lyric poets. These intimate talks use Shurin’s own work to illustrate the power and practice of image-making at the deepest level. Shurin is author of twelve books of poetry and prose, most recently The Skin of Meaning: Collected Literary Essays and Talks by University of Michigan Press (2016) and Citizen by City Light Books (2012). Shurin's career could be considered a love letter to SF and it's gay community.
