Content’s Craft Talks: Michael Bazzett

Content is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with our friends at the Grand Event Center: Content’s Craft Talks! In this occasional series, we’ll host a beloved author at the Grand to talk shop: the writing process, how to hone your craft, and their own individual writing expertise. Whether you want to write books or just love reading them, you’ll want to be there.

 

We’re delighted to welcome poet and Carleton alum Michael Bazzett back to Northfield for the first of Content’s Craft Talks during National Poetry Month. Join us at the Grand Event Center on Wednesday, April 10th at 7 pm.

He is also the translator of THE POPOL VUH, the first English verse translation of the Mayan creation epic, which was named a New York Times Best Book of 2018. He is also the author of the chapbook IMAGINARY CITY (OW! Arts). His poems have appeared in numerous publications, including Ploughshares, The Sun, Massachusetts Review, Pleiades, and Best New Poets. A longtime faculty member at The Blake School, Bazzett has received the Bechtel Prize from Teachers & Writers Collaborative and is a 2017 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow. He lives in Minneapolis.
