Bly will read poetry Thursday
Poet, magazine editor and translator Robert Bly will be poet-in-residence in KU's English department until March 29.
Bly is editor of "The Sixties," a quarterly poetry journal in Madison, Minn., which has introduced many of the new poets of South America and Europe to U.S. readers.
Besides lecturing to creative writing classes and meeting with several literature classes during his visit, Bly will read from his work at 4 p.m. tomorrow in Dyche Auditorium.
HIS POETRY RANGES from pastoral meditations on the Minnesota landscape to political poems denouncing the Vietnam War.
Bly's work has appeared in such poetry journals as "Paris Review," "Poetry," "New World
Writing," "Nation," and "Hudson Review," and in several leading contemporary anthologies.
In 1956 Bly translated and edited "An Anthology of Norwegian Poetry From Ibsen to the Present." He published a volume of his own poetry entitled "Silence in the Snowy Fields" in 1962.
Bly received his education at Saint Olaf College, Harvard University, and the University of Iowa.
A $3,000 landscaping project was given to the University by the class of 1947. The quadrangle was situated between Marvin and Lindley Halls. The parking lot was removed when the project got under way.
