Wallace Stevens — insurance man by day, one of America’s greatest poets by night

of our events. But these discussions have been lively, entertaining, and  your learn something. At least I have.

So far we have had experts in their fields talk to us about W.B. Yeats, William Blake, and murder in the plays of William Shakespeare. Up next is Martha Heimberg and Brian Nowlin on Wallace Stevens in  a program called Tootings at the Wedding of the Soul Night. I have no idea what that means, but I look forward to finding out.

Martha Heimberg is assistant professor of English at Northwood University in Cedar Hill, Texas, creative writing instructor at Richland College and arts critic for Turtle Creek News and Theater Jones. A scholar and poet, Brian Nowlin is a doctoral candidate at the University of Dallas, where he is completing a dissertation on the late poetry of Wallace Stevens.

The event is February 7 at 7:00 pm. Please go the events page at the WordSpace website for more information.
