Please join us for a poetry reading by SMCM alum Joe Hall at 7:30 in DPC this Thursday, September 21!
Joe Hall is a Maryland-born and Buffalo-based writer and reading series curator. His five books of poetry include Fugue & Strike (2023) and Someone’s Utopia (2018). The Boston Globe: “Joe Hall’s poems move between a fist-pounding urgency, the fire and squelch of this moment of our endtime, and a vulnerability hushed and gentle as a nightgown on a laundry line.” Hall has performed and delivered talks nationally at universities, bars, squats, and rivers. Postcolonial Studies, Poetry Daily, Fence Digital, Best Buds! Collective, terrain.org, PEN America Blog, dollar bills, and an NFTA bus shelter have all featured his work. He has taught poetry workshops for teachers, teens, and workers through Just Buffalo and the WNYCOSH Worker Center.
