Poet Joe Mills is Sending Christmas Cards to Huck and Hamlet

May 15, 2012

Poet and educator Joseph Mills is a faculty member at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and he holds the Susan Burress Wall Distinguished Professorship in the Humanities. His published work includes poetry, fiction, drama, and criticism including four volumes of poetry with Press 53: Sending Christmas Cards to Huck and Hamlet, Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers, Somewhere During the Spin Cycle, and Love and Other Collisions. Pulitzer nominated, award-winning author Anthony Abbott call Joe’s latest, Sending Christmas Cards to Huck and Hamlet, “…one of the most original collections of poetry I have ever encountered—original because it treats the whole world of books, poems, stories, and fairy tales not only as being somehow more real than reality itself, but as our most important lifelines to reality itself.”

You can hear Joe Mills tonight at 6:00pm leading a discussion titled "Writing as Luggage: Packing Light and Packing Tight”, at Barnhill's Books in Winston-Salem. On May 24, at 12:30pm, Joe will be at the Central Library of the Forsyth County Public Library system in Winston-Salem, where he’ll be talking to the 4th Thursday Book Club, and reading from his new book of poetry.
