Fannie Howe Reads at the Grolier Poetry Book Shop

Fanny Howe is the author of more than thirty books of poetry and prose, including

Come and See,The Lyrics, and The Winter Sun: Notes on a vocation. 

“If someone is alone reading my poems, I hope it would be like reading someone’s notebook. A record. Of a place, beauty, difficulty. A familiar daily struggle,” Fanny Howe explained in a 2004 interview with the Kenyon Review.

She has won the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, an award from the Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal for Poetry for Poetry from the commonwealth Club of California, and Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for lifetime achievement from the Poetry Foundation.
