Poetry reading at Dia

Poets Mary Jo Bang and Paul Hoover read retrospectively from a wide span of their writing as part of the Readings in Contemporary Poetry series at Dia Center for the Arts. Readings in this series trace a trajectory of the participating poets' work, from early poems to as-yet-unpublished work, and are accompanied by broadsides featuring selected poems.

READINGS IN CONTEMPORARY POETRY
Since 1987, more than one hundred poets have participated in Dia's Readings in Contemporary Poetry series. These readings have included historic literary events, such as James Schuyler's first public reading. With a generous grant from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund, Dia is making selected audio from early readings available on Dia's website at http://www.diacenter.org/ prg/poetry/index.html. In addition, beginning with the 2001-2002 season, recordings of entire readings are also posted. Readings in Contemporary Poetry is supported by generous grants from The Juliet Lea Hillman Simonds Foundation, Inc., the Lannan Foundation, the Lila Acheson Wallace Theater Fund, and the Axe-Houghton Foundation.
