Iowa Poet Laureate, Mary Swander
April is National Poetry Month. Join Iowa Poet Laureate Mary Swander in the Library Meeting Room as she discusses the state of poetry in contemporary society, illustrating her ideas with her original work including the classic Driving the Body Back and her more recent collection The Girls on the Roof, a Mississippi River flood saga. Swander draws her inspiration from the landscape and its people. From the Iowa Amish to the New Mexico mystics, she has captured the extraordinary folkways and idioms in the ordinary person’s life. She is the author of twelve books, numerous plays and radio commentaries and brings energy and humor to the page and her audience…and sometimes she even brings her banjo! Sponsored in conjunction with Humanities Iowa.
