In collaboration with the Poetry Society of America (PSA), ICP offers a unique, cross-genre event featuring Jorie Graham, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Dream of the Unified Field (1997). Graham will read her own work directly concerned with environmental issues, as well as original poems inspired by Sebastião Salgado's photographs. After the reading, she will have a conversation with Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award winner Timothy Donnelly about climate change and the imagination.

Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Jorie Graham is the author of 12 collections of poetry, including PLACE, winner of the Forward Prize and shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize (Ecco, 2012); Sea Change (2008); Swarm (2000); The Errancy (1997); The Dream of the Unified Field: Selected Poems 1974–1994 (1995); The End of Beauty (1987); Erosion (1983); and Hybrids of Plants and of Ghosts (1980). She has also edited two anthologies, Earth Took of Earth: 100 Great Poems of the English Language (1996) and The Best American Poetry 1990. Timothy Donnelly is the author of Twenty-seven Props for a Production of Eine Lebenszeit and The Cloud Corporation. A recent Guggenheim fellow, he is an associate professor at Columbia University's School of the Arts and poetry editor for The Boston Review.

This event is part of the Fall 2014 programming series ICP Talks: Climate Change. For a complete listing of series events, click here.
