Poetry Reading with Tess Taylor

Join us for a lunchtime poetry reading! You are welcome to bring your own lunch or enjoy refreshments provided by Friends of the Amarillo Public Library. The doors will open at noon and the program will begin at 12:30. Tess Taylor’s body of work deals with place, ecology, memory, and cultural reckoning. She has published five celebrated poetry collections including The Misremembered World, The Forage House, Last West: Roadsongs for Dorothea Lange, and Rift Zone, one of the Boston Globe’s best books of 2020. Her book “Work & Days” was one of the New York Times best poetry books of 2016, and her work as a cultural critic appears in in Harper’s Magazine, The Atlantic, The Kenyon Review, Poetry, Tin House, The Times Literary Supplement, CNN, and The New York Times. In fall of 2023 she published her first full length poetry anthology: Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens and the Hands that Tend Them, a collection of contemporary gardening poems, for an era of climate crisis.
