Readings

Poetry: Devin Johnston

  • This is a past program

Far-Fetched, Devin Johnston’s new collection of poems, follows the contours of Appalachian hillsides, Missouri river bends, and remote Australian coastlines, tuning language to landscape. “Here we have layers of history, etymology, the vagaries of feeling,” observes fellow poet Maureen McLane. It is poetry meant to be heard. 

This series of poetry readings is organized and hosted by poet, literary critic, and UCLA professor Stephen Yenser

Complimentary coffee and tea served. A book signing will follow the reading.

This series is cosponsored by the UCLA English Department, the Friends of English, and the UCLA Department of Cultural and Recreational Affairs.

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from the Dream Fund at UCLA. 

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members. 

The Hammer’s digital presentation of its public programs is made possible by the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
