DESCRIPTION:Our friends and fellow poets Aaron Shurin and Robert Glück each turn 75 
 this year, and we're putting on a little celebratory reading and evening in 
 their honor. Both are also alums of The Poetry Center at SF State, and have 
 been teachers and mentors to dozens of younger poets and writers across the 
 years. Please join us to celebrate their collective anniversary.\n\nAaron 
 received his M.A. in Poetics from New College of California, where he 
 studied under poet Robert Duncan. He is the former director of the Master 
 of Fine Arts in Writing Program at the University of San Francisco, where 
 he is now Professor Emeritus. Shurin has taught extensively in the fields 
 of American poetry and poetics, contemporary and classical prosody, 
 improvisational techniques in composition, and the personal essay. He is 
 the author of numerous books of poetry, including:Unbound: A Book of AIDS 
 (1997),[4] The Skin of Meaning: Collected Literary Essays and 
 Talks.\n\nBorn in Cleveland, poet, fiction writer, editor, and New 
 Narrative theorist Robert Glück grew up there and in Los Angeles. With 
 Bruce Boone and other writers, Glück co-founded the New Narrative movement 
 in San Francisco in the early 1980s. Glück’s experimental 
 work—typically prose—infuses L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E theory with queer, 
 feminist, and class-based discourse while exploring issues of autobiography 
 and self. Glück’s work has been selected for numerous anthologies, 
 including Lust for Life: On the Writings of Kathy Acker (2006), Best 
 American Erotica 2005, and The Faber Book of Gay Short Fiction (1992). In 
 2016, Semiotext(e) published his collected essays, Communal 
 Nude.\n\nCo-presented by The Poetry Center at SF State and The Green 
 Arcade, with thanks to our generous host, McRoskey Mattress Co.\n\nMasks 
 are required for those attending in person. No admission charged.\n\nThis 
 program also available via live-stream and at the same link after the 
 event.\n\nMore info at: poetry@sfsu.edu\n\n\n
