The poet reading today is Roz Spafford. Below is a little bit about Roz and her writings.

Roz Spafford’s new book of poems is Requiem, winner of the 2008 Gell Poetry Prize, with a foreword by Carl Dennis: “All the poems in Requiem may be read as attempts to confront the presence of death in our lives . . .What is remarkable about this steady focus, which offers no easy consolations, is that it leads to a book that is more challenging than it is querulous or elegiac. . .a book that confronts our limitations in a way that makes us feel larger rather than diminished.” Roz Spafford has been a writer, teacher, and activist for the last three decades. She wrote book reviews and a newspaper column of media and cultural criticism called “Mediations” for much of that time. Her poetry and fiction have been widely published in literary magazines.
