Daily-ist: Monday

Monday? Really? AGAIN? Not buying it. Ugh. Let us help you though it with a little spoken word for a rainy day.

Join the Rice University English Department as they welcome Steve Gehrke and Nadine Meyer, husband and wife and both winners of the 2005 National Poetry Series, as part of the Cherry Reading Series.

Both Gehrke and Meyer have been widely published and recognized for their poetic work. Gehrke is an assistant professor of English at Seton Hall University. His third book, Michelangelo’s Seizure, was selected for the National Poetry Series and will be published by the University of Illinois Press in 2007. His second book, The Pyramids of Malpighi, won the Philip Levine Prize. He has received the Pushcart Prize and recently secured a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for future work.

Meyer’s first book, The Anatomy Theater, was selected for the National Poetry Series and published by HarperCollins in 2006. Her poems have appeared in Chelsea, Quarterly West, North American Review and on Poetry Daily. Meyer has won several awards for her work, including The New Letters Prize for Poetry and a Pushcart Prize. She also teaches in the English Department at Seton Hall.
