Fran Quinn & Mary Harter Mitchell: Evening with the Muse
On Sunday July 13th at 7 pm, poet Fran Quinn will be featured in the "Evening With the Muse" series at the Cultural Arts Complex on 67th Street, near the Indianapolis Arts Center. When Fran Quinn was the poet-in-residence and director of the internationally known Visiting Writers Series at Butler University, he brought in many great writers. I got to meet and hang out with people like Robert Creely, Clayton Eshleman and Russell Edson. Quinn has a wonderful way of humanizing poetry and poetics. When he reads, you never forget that poetry is just another way of one human communicating with another. His poetry has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes and won the Hopewell Prize. He has published three books of poetry, most recently The Goblet Crying for Wine. For more information about Mr. Quinn and his poetry workshops check out www.franquinnworkshops.com Also reading that night is Mary Harter Mitchell has taught law for Indiana University for 30 years. She is currently the Alan H. Cohen Professor of Law at the Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis. She has published poems in legal and Quaker circles. After the two featured poets there shall be an open mic.
