POET MARY OLIVER IN HOUSTON APRIL 16

Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner poet Mary Oliver will read her work on Monday, April 16, at the Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue, at 7:30 pm. General admission tickets are $10. Oliver’s work is famous for its lyrical connection to the natural world. Stanley Kunitz says, “Mary Oliver’s poetry is fine and deep; it reads like a blessing. Her special gift is to connect us with our sources in the natural world, its beauties and terrors and mysteries and consolations.” Oliver’s works include “Why I Wake Early”, “Blue Iris: Poems and Essays”, and a CD of Oliver reading her poems, titled “At Blackwater Pond.” For more information, contact Inprint at (713) 521-026.
