The Visiting Writers Series is thrilled to welcome back Bruce Bennett, Professor Emeritus, to read from his newly published collection, “Just Another Day in Just Our Town: Poems New and Selected 2000-2016.” This event will be the launch of a reading tour to celebrate the new book. Bruce is the author of ten books of poetry and more than two dozen poetry chapbooks. His first “New and Selected Poems, Navigating The Distances,” was chosen by Booklist as one of the top ten poetry books of 1999. In 2015 he received the first annual Writing The Rockies Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Creative Writing.

Bruce was a founding editor of the magazines Field: Contemporary Poetry and Poetics and Ploughshares, and he has reviewed contemporary poetry for the New York Times Book Review, The Nation and Harvard Review. Bennett served for many years as an Associate Editor at State Street Press. He taught literature and writing at Wells College from 1973 to 2014.

As with all VWS events, this reading is free and open to the public.
