Heather McHugh and Lucia Perillo
Due to illness, Heather McHugh will not be able to read with Lucia Perillo on April 26. She will be replaced by the evening’s introducer, Richard Howard, who will read from his own work before introducing Perillo’s reading. We apologize for any inconvenience and will contact all ticket-holders shortly. We hope to re-schedule McHugh’s reading in the 12/13 season.
Heather McHugh’s most recent book of poems is Upgraded to Serious.
“She’s practically playing with her words as she writes them down. ‘Joycean’ is a word that comes to mind,” wrote Robert Hass. McHugh is “a poet for whom wit is a form of spiritual survival.”
Lucia Perillo’s most recent collection is Inseminating the Elephant. “She’s the funniest poet writing today,” wrote David Kirby. “Which is saying a lot, since she’s also the poet most concerned with the treachery practiced on us daily by our best friends and worst enemies—our bodies.”
