Ohio Wesleyan's Department of English is pleased to welcome Aza Pace on Tuesday, Sept. 26, from 4:15-5:15 p.m. in the Milligan Room of Slocum Hall. Pace is a poet interested in eco-poetics, ekphrasis, and rewritings of myth. She often draws on Texas landscapes to explore how storytelling rooted in place can help foster a sense of common life in the Anthropocene. Her poems appear in The Southern Review, Copper Nickel, Tupelo Quarterly, Crazyhorse (now Swamp pink), New Ohio Review, The Adroit Journal, and elsewhere, and she is the winner of two Academy of American Poets University Prizes. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the English Department at OWU.
