Detroit Mercy’s English Department will welcome poet (and alumnus) Cal Freeman for a reading from his new book, The Weather of Our Names, on Thursday, Oct. 23, at 12:45 p.m., in the Bargman Room, second floor of the McNichols Campus Library.
This event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase.
Chicago Review of Books recently praised The Weather of Our Names: “Cal Freeman is the type of poet whose precision is surgical, but whose scope is more like NASA’s Terra satellite. Capable of capturing the finite details of a moment in relation to the broader societal context, Freeman’s newest book, The Weather of Our Names, seamlessly weaves hyper-specific environments with deep understanding of memory, place, and self.”
