Poets Aza Pace and Julia Kolchinsky read their poetry and have a conversation, in the Milligan Room inside Slocum Hall, 75 S. Sandusky St., Delaware. Pace, Ph.D., is a visiting assistant professor of English at Ohio Wesleyan, and Kolchinsky, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of English and Creative Writing at Denison University. Pace will read from "Her Terrible Splendor," a collection of poems that "transports the Greek witch-goddess Circe from her mythical island of Aeaea to modern-day East Texas," where Pace was raised. The book won the 2024 Emma Howell Rising Poet Prize. Kolchinsky will read from "Parallax," a collection of linked lyric essays about parenting her neurodiverse child under the shadow of the war in Ukraine, her birthplace. The book was a finalist for the Miller Williams Prize. The poets sign books after their talk. Learn more about the poets at www.azapace.com and www.juliakolchinsky.com. Admission is free.
