Last night’s reading with Swensen and Liu at URI was a great success! The event was so well attended that the OSR staff had to find more seating and the attendees were still standing by the doorways. The crowd hung onto Swensen’s transforming cadences and Liu’s self-possessed musings. The Q&A session led to essential discussions for Swensen and Liu on life and its connection to poetry, their respective organic and collaborative uses of imagery, teaching, psychology, death and poetic perspective. Last night was an invitation well-received.
