Please note: This Shop Talk will take place in the lobby of the Poetry Center library

Randall Smith—retired educator, inveterate reader, and docent at the UA Laboratory of Tree Ring Research—leads a Shop Talk on the work of Arthur Sze, who reads for the Poetry Center on Thursday, November 14.

Shop Talks are free, informal, one-hour discussion groups focused on the work of a poet who will be reading at the Poetry Center. No advance knowledge of the poet or works discussed is needed. Each Shop Talk begins with a mini-lecture on the featured author, followed by a conversation about the author and the work. A study packet containing biographical information, excerpts, and criticism is made available at the Shop Talk. This discussion will take place at 6:00 p.m. in the lobby of the Poetry Center library.
