Poets Peter Everwine and Jane Miller read selections from their recent work.

Everwine's books of poetry and translations include "In the House of Light," "Collecting the Animals" (a Lamont Selection by the Academy of American Poets and a finalist for the National Book Award), "Keeping the Night" and, most recently, "From the Meadow: Selected and New Poems." He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and was a Fulbright Professor at Haifa University, Israel. He retired from California State University, Fresno, in 1992.

Miller’s latest collection of poems is the book-length sequence, "A Palace of Pearls." Among earlier collections are "Wherever You Lay Your Head," "Memory at These Speeds: New and Selected Poems," "The Greater Leisures" (a National Poetry Series Selection) and "August Zero" (winner of the Western States Book Award). She is a recipient of a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Award for Poetry, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship and two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. She is on the faculty of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Arizona, having served as the program’s director from 1999-2003.
