In his debut collection of nonfiction, An Ignorance of Trees: A Memoir in Essays, celebrated poet Jim Daniels writes about trees, backyard swing sets, above-ground swimming pools, pets, and hoarding, carrying his beloved Detroit with him wherever he goes. Join us for a reading in which Jim, as a review describes, “enriches the terrain of the Midwest with a heart as bruised and beautiful as ever.” He will also discuss what it means to study creative nonfiction (and poetry!) at the graduate level. Director Sophfronia Scott will be available for questions about applying to Alma’s Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Program.
