Marcus Wicker event, March 1 at the Mercantile

1 Minute Read Time

We’re looking forward to this event on Thursday at 7:30! CR contributor Marcus Wicker will be reading poems and giving a lecture about “Poetry as Protest and Social Activism.” Join us at the Mercantile Library, a beautiful library on the 11th floor of 414 Walnut in downtown Cincinnati.

Two poems of Wicker’s, “Tiki Torch Cookout Vespers” and “Morning in the Burbs,” appeared in our issue 9.2.  The latter poem, now in his recent knockout collection Silencer (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017), was featured on Poetry Daily earlier this year.

In 2013, Wicker visited the University of Cincinnati as part of our Emerging Poets Festival; read a brief excerpt of a discussion from that visit here!
