The University of Richmond usually has an impressive array of speakers via events that are generally free and open to the public.  This event is no different, featuring acclaimed poet Andrew Zawacki on February 26th in Weinstein Hall’s Brown-Alley Room at 8pm.

From the official press release:

Zawacki will read from his third book “Petals of Zero Petals of One,” which was published this month.

A graduate of The College of William and Mary, Zawacki is a former Rhodes and Fulbright scholar. He teaches English at the University of Georgia and is co-editor of Verse magazine with the University of Richmond’s Brian Henry.
