The 2016 Kenneth A. Lohf Poetry Reading: Ron Padgett

Since the mid-1960s, Ron Padgett has played a significant role in modern poetry through his imaginative works as a poet, educator, and translator. His many collections include Alone and Not Alone (2015), Collected Poems (2013), and How Long (2011), which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

Please join us for this inaugural reading in a series honoring Kenneth A. Lohf (1925–2002)—a literary scholar, rare book librarian, and longtime member of the Morgan’s Council of Fellows. Lohf bequeathed to the Morgan his extensive collection of books and manuscripts by English poets. The program will take place in Pierpont Morgan's Library and is followed by a reception.

The exhibition Warhol by the Book will open at 5:30 pm for program attendees.
