Visting Writers Series: Bin Ramke
The Visiting Writers Series is pleased to announce a reading by poet Bin Ramke.
Bin Ramke is editor of the Denver Quarterly. He teaches at the University of Denver, where he holds the Phipps Chair in English, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His ninth book of poems, Tendril, published by Omnidawn this fall, includes poems influenced by the disastrous events of his home region, New Orleans to Orange, Texas, of the past few years. He has degrees from LSU Baton Rouge, the University of New Orleans, and Ohio University. Ramke's first book was published in the Yale Younger Poets series.
The reading will be followed by a reception and book signing. All Visiting Writers Series events are free, wheelchair accessible, and open to the public. Visiting Writers Series events are sponsored by the MFA Program for Poets and Writers and made possible in part by grants from the Amherst Arts Council, UMass Arts Council, and UMass Alumni Association.
