University of Nebraska Omaha BFA alumna Susan Aizenberg will read at the Writer’s Workshop Reading Series in the UNO Art Gallery April 2, 2025 at 7:30 pm.
Susan Aizenberg is the author of the poetry collections Quiet City and Muse and the coeditor of The Extraordinary Tide: New Poetry by American Women.
Her new book, A Walk with Frank O’Hara, was published by UNM Press in August 2024. Aizenberg uses a range of techniques in this collection of poetry to explore contemporary daily life in a difficult world. She critiques gender, grief, culture, and the myriad experiences that define us. But even when grappling with old wounds, a strain of romance runs throughout the book, reminding readers that it’s between the love and the grief that we’ll find the moments worth being shared and savored.
This reading is part of a year-long celebration of the 20th anniversary of UNO’s College of Communication, Fine Arts, and Media.
