Axton Reading Series
I’m not trying to do a literary calendar here. Charlie Hughes already does an excellent job of that. But I couldn’t help but notice that tomorrow is a banner day in Louisville for poetry. The laureate reading/induction takes place in the afternoon and the last of this year’s Axton Reading Series takes place at 7:30 p.m. in the Bingham Poetry Room, Ekstrom Library of the University of Louisville. Jerome Rothenberg is reading.
Because I usually find it difficult to drive to Louisville in the middle of the week, I haven’t paid as much attention to this series as I probably should have. They’ve brought some wonderful poets into the area, including a fellow Kentucky poet (though I tend to forget that he grew up in Mt. Sterling), Mark Jarman. But what has really caught my attention this spring is that the day after the reading, these marvelous poets conduct a master class “where student work is critiqued.” That event is also free and open to the public, though I assume that the student work in question is limited to UL.
