Poetry Days presents “An Evening with Philip Metres” at Boston College on October 22 at 7 p.m in Gasson 100. Philip Metres is the author of several works, most recently Fugitive/Refuge, which follows the journey of Metres’s refugee ancestors—from Lebanon to Mexico to the United States—in a vivid exploration of what it means to long for home. His other publications include Shrapnel Maps, The Sound of Listening: Poetry as Refuge and Resistance, and Sand Opera. His work consists of poetry, translation, essays, fiction, and criticism. He is the recipient of the Adrienne Rich Award, three Arab American Book Awards, the Lyric Poetry Prize, a Pushcart Prize, and the Cleveland Arts Prize. Metres is professor of English and director of the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights program at John Carroll University. The event, cosponsored with the Lowell Humanities Series, is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
