“There is a hornet in the room,” a line drawn from a poem by James Schuyler, will be a talk about a few poems that involve insects, followed by a reading from Robyn Schiff's insect-infested manuscript-in-progress, Information Desk: An Epic. Robyn Schiff is the author of three books of poems, Worth, Revolver, and A Woman of Property. A winner of the Rome Prize, she is a Professor at Emory University, and co-editor of Canarium Books. Schiff’s next collection, Information Desk: An Epic, is forthcoming from Penguin. Harvard University welcomes individuals with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities.
