Poetry Reading + Book Launch: The Anthology of Black Mountain College Poetry
May 29 @ 7:00 pm
Free
Join us for the Asheville book launch of The Anthology of Black Mountain College Poetry. Co-editor Joseph Bathanti will join us at the museum, and a multi-generational lineup of WNC poets, curated in collaboration with Bagatelle Books, will read excerpts from the anthology.
Edited by Blake Hobby, Alessandro Porco, Joseph Bathanti, The Anthology of Black Mountain College Poetry is published by The University of North Carolina Press in association with Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center. This brand-new volume features over fifty BMC poets selected with an expansive historical and critical lens, including BMC luminaries like M.C. Richards, Jonathan Williams, and Susan Weil, alongside those not typically considered as poets, such as artist Cynthia Homire, composer John Cage, architect Buckminster Fuller, and artist Josef Albers. Many years in the making, this book presents the clearest picture of the poetry and poetics of Black Mountain College yet.
