Iowa City poet Susan Aizenberg will read from A Walk With Frank O’Hara: Poems, published by the University of New Mexico Press Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series, edited by Hilda Raz. "Susan Aizenberg is a poet with a wonderfully distinct voice — the poems in A Walk With Frank O'Hara have that difficult-to-achieve illusion of effortlessness I deeply admire, with no fussiness or straining for effect, but rather a clean elegance that allows Aizenberg's natural lyricism to shine. Aizenberg is one of the most accomplished poets writing in America today." —Erin Belieu

"Susan Aizenberg embraces influences — including Denise Levertov, Stephen Dunn, and Louis Simpson — to create exquisite narratives about human freedom. . . . Her poems shimmer with clarity. Her meditations marvel." —Denise Duhamel

Susan Aizenberg is the author of the poetry collections Quiet City and Muse and the co-editor of The Extraordinary Tide: New Poetry by American Women. She lives in Iowa City.
