Spots fill up fast! Register today. Early Bird rate valid until August 1.
Date: Wednesday, September 17, 2025
Time: 7:00 - 8:30 pm (ET) on Zoom
A rare and intimate opportunity to spend time with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Marie Howe, one of today’s most beloved and influential voices in contemporary poetry and author of New and Selected Poems. This live, 90-minute virtual gathering will be part conversation, part reading and reflection—and wholly inspiring.
Marie and I have been in conversation for over forty years—as friends, writers, and fellow wonderers about the world. I’m thrilled to invite you into that ongoing dialogue. We’ll talk about poetry as a way of seeing, the art of paying attention, and how language can hold what ordinary speech often can’t. In addition, there will be space to listen as Marie reads her poems, time for guided writing, and open Q&A.
Whether you’re a poet, teacher, or someone who simply loves language, this evening will offer connection, creative possibility, and the kind of deep listening that poetry makes possible.

About the Hosts
Marie Howe is the author of New and Selected Poems (W. W. Norton, 2024), winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry; Magdalene (W. W. Norton, 2017), which was long-listed for the National Book Award; The Kingdom of Ordinary Time (W. W. Norton, 2009), which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; What the Living Do (W. W. Norton, 1998); and The Good Thief (Persea Books, 1988), which was selected by Margaret Atwood for the 1987 National Poetry Series. What the Living Do is in many ways an elegy for Howe’s brother, John, who died of AIDS in 1989.
From 2012-2014, she served as the Poet Laureate of New York State. She is the poet in residence at The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, and a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. She currently teaches at Sarah Lawrence College and lives in New York City.
About poetry and everyday life, Howe notes:
This might be the most difficult task for us in postmodern life: not to look away from what is actually happening. To put down the iPod and the email and the phone. To look long enough so that we can look through it—like a window.
Georgia Heard received the 2023 Excellence in Poetry for Children Award which honors a living American poet for their aggregate work for children ages 3-13. She is the founder of The Poet’s Studio and has taught at Poet’s House, Teachers College, Columbia University, Gothenburg University, and in schools around the world.
