PUBLIC PROGRAM
Poetry Reading with Bart Edelman
Thursday, May 8, 2025
5:00-6:30 p.m.
Emily Lowe Gallery, Behind Emily Lowe Hall, South Campus

Bart Edelman returns to Hofstra University for a reading from his new book, This Body Is Never at Rest: Selected Poems 1993 – 2023, published by Meadowlark Press.

Edelman received both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Hofstra and was fortunate enough to study with Frank Lambasa, Leo Gurko, Stanley Brodwin, and William Hull. Collections of his work include Crossing the Hackensack, Under Damaris’ Dress, The Alphabet of Love, The Gentle Man, The Last Mojito, The Geographer’s Wife, and Whistling to Trick the Wind. He currently lives in Pasadena, California. This reading of Edelman’s poetry, and the breadth of his work, allows the audience to hear how Hofstra has been such a pivotal and integral part of his development as a writer with roots that have taken shape here on campus – and beyond. Join us for a provocative and entertaining reading and discussion.

Seating is capped at 40 guests.
Admission is free.
