Awaken the Sleeping Poet!
Thursday, August 28
7 p.m.
Robert Bonazzi’s first book of poetry was Living the Borrowed Life. His second book was Fictive Music and critic Paul Christensen wrote in The Pawn Review: "Bonazzi’s books advance our culture. He is a Prospero of this heat and sunlight, a visionary, an enchanter, an amuser. Rarest of all among poets, he is a player with his medium, a musical bard with wit and charm in an age of factions and morbid cliques of verse.” Perpetual Texts received praise in the Austin American-Statesman and Dallas Morning News. And Robert is the author of the critically-acclaimed Man in the Mirror: John Howard Griffin and the Story of Black Like Me. His essays, reviews, short stories and poems have appeared in over 200 publications – in France, Germany, the UK, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Peru and the U.S.
Also featuring: Paul Christensen
Paul Christensen is an award-winning author of eighteen books of poetry and prose. His books of poems include Blue Alleys: Prose Poems and Hard Country (both winners of the Violet Crown for best book for literature awarded by the Writers' League of Texas). He has published over three hundred essays on a wide array of subjects from travel pieces to political commentary for The Texas Observer. His short story "Water," published in The Madison Review, won the "Best Short Fiction Award" given by the Texas Institute of Letters. And his personal essay, "In Praise of Bluffing," won the first "Distinguished Prose" award given by Antioch Review. Paul is coordinator of creative writing at Texas A&M.
