10/27/24. Art Show Closing & Poetry Reading by Coleman Barks
Renowned poet and the bestselling author, Coleman Barks, will read excerpts from his books. Barks has interpreted more than a dozen volumes of Rumi’s poetry, including The Illuminated Rumi (1997) and The Essential Rumi (1995), often in collaboration with Persian scholar John Moyne. Barks’s own poetry is lyrical, meditative, and steeped in his native Southeastern landscape. Barks has published numerous original poetry collections, including Hummingbird Sleep (2013), Winter Sky: New and Selected Poems (2008), Gourd Seed (1993), and The Juice (1971). Awards for his poetry include the Guy Owen Prize from the Southern Literary Review, and the New England Review’s prize for narrative poetry. He was prominently featured in both of Bill Moyers's PBS television series on poetry, "The Language of Life" and "Fooling with Words." He taught English and poetry at the University of Georgia for thirty years and was inducted into the Georgia Writers’ Hall of Fame in 2009. He now focuses on writing, readings, visual art, and performances.
