Poetry Reading: Margaret Young & David Young

Saturday, March 3 @ 7:00pm

This father-daughter duo join us for a reading of their poetry at Visible Voice Books.

Margaret Young grew up in Oberlin, Ohio. After graduating from Yale, she worked in a traveling theater company before earning an M.A. in creative writing at the University of California, Davis.  She has taught and done residencies in many settings, and earned an Individual Artist Grant from the Ohio Arts Council in 2005. Her first poetry collection, Willow from the Willow, was published by Cleveland State University Press in 2002. Her most recent collection, Almond Town, appeared with Bright Hill Press in 2011.  She teaches at Endicott College and was recently appointed to the faculty of the Global Center for Advanced Studies.

David Young has many activities to his credit- writing, translating, teaching, and editing- all of them center on his lifelong commitment to the art of poetry. “Poetry is where is begins and ends, for me,” he says. “I feel that poetry is one of the great and enduring human activities and that it merits being served with integrity and humility.”
