Poet BIN RAMKE reads from
Theory of Mind and Tendril
Thursday, September 8 at 7 PM

Meet award-winning poet Bin Ramke, whose book The Difference Between Night and Day won the Yale Younger Poets Award. Ramke teaches writing and contemporary literature at the University of Denver, and edits the Denver Quarterly. His other titles include: Theory of Mind: New and Selected Poems; Tendril; Matter, and Airs, Waters, Places. Ramke's essays and reviews have appeared in the Boston Review, the Ohio Review and American Notes & Letters. His new collection will be available in February.

Bin Ramke's poetry presents itself as a product of curious research on many different topics, most particularly etymology, but with side trips to mathematics, Greek philosophy, the poetry of Rilke and Christopher Smart — just about anything, in fact. — John Ashbery on Ramke's Tendril
