GU Visiting Writers Series: Robyn Schiff

The greatest stamp of approval a poet can receive is undoubtedly that of the The New Yorker. Robyn Schiff, who will read from her newest book of poems, A Woman of Property, as part of Gonzaga’s Visiting Writers Series this Tuesday, got the favorable nod. In its review of her book, The New Yorker said, “Schiff’s poems, with their Hitchcock-like distrust of appearances, their alertness to hidden binds and snares, offer something few poets ever discover: a vision of the whole world.” Whoa. Schiff is a professor at the University of Iowa and has already written two successful books — though this one is the talk of the town among literary circles. At 1:15 pm, she will also take part in a Q&A session at the Hemmingson Center.
