SUMMARY:A Poetry Reading by Greg Djanikian
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Writers House for a reading by acclaimed poet Gregory Djanikian\, who was for many years the Director of Creative Writing at Penn. Djanikian’s latest book\, Nostalgia for the Future: New and Selected Poems\, written over several decades\, takes for its many subjects romantic love and its difficulties\, the horrors of the Armenian genocide of 1915\, the émigré experience and the joys and struggles of acculturation\, the allure of landscapes and vast distances\, the polarity of our material life on earth and our longing for what is ethereal and elusive\, all in tones that are humorous\, elegiac\, contemplative\, lyrical\, and suffused with a gratitude for the mysteriousness and wonder of life itself. \nAbout the Poet: \nBorn in Alexandria\, Egypt of Armenian parentage\, Gregory Djanikian came to the United States when he was 8 years old and spent his boyhood in Williamsport\, PA. For many years\, he was the Director of Creative Writing at the University of Pennsylvania and is the author of seven collections of poetry from Carnegie Mellon\, most recently of which is Sojourners of the In-Between. His poems have appeared in numerous journals\, and in many anthologies including Best American Poetry\, Good Poems\, American Places (Viking)\, Killer Verse: Poems of Murder and Mayhem (Knopf)\, Seriously Funny (Georgia)\, Becoming Americas: Four Centuries of Immigrant Writing (Library of America)\, Poem in Your Pocket (The Academy of American Poets)\, Language for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East\, Asia & Beyond (Norton)\, and 180 More: Extraordinary Poems for Every Day (Random House).
