An Austin Peay State University professor of English will give a poetry reading at 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 29, at Milkweed Health & Harmony Emporium, 202 E. Ninth St.
Amy Wright has been invited to read from her book “Everything in the Universe.”
One reviewer said, ““Reading ‘Everything in the Universe’ is like walking through a natural history museum exhibit curated by Andy Warhol …”
She is also the author of “Cracker Sonnets” and “Paper Concert: A Conversation in the Round.”
Wright grew up on a family farm in southwest Virginia. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the University of Virginia, her master’s at the University of Colorado and her doctorate at the University of Denver.
Wright says she “strives through her teaching and writing to promote environmental sustainability and healing through meaning-making.”
