Celebrated poet Marvin Bell will read from his latest work, Vertigo: The Living Dead Man Poems (Copper Canyon Press, 2011) at 7 p.m. Monday, April 2 in Syracuse University’s Hall of Languages, Room 107.

The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in SU’s paid lots. The events are presented by the Renée Crown University Honors Program, which is administered by SU’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Vertigo is Bell’s 23rd book of poetry and his fourth collection of “dead man poems,” a form he invented and about which author and critic Judith Kitchen has written: “Bell has redefined poetry as it is being practiced today.”
