Paul Mariani Poetry Reading and Film Discussion
Lone Star College-Montgomery’s Writers in Performance kicks off its fall
series with Paul Mariani, a world-renown, award-winning author who will read
selections of his poetry on Thursday, September 15, at 7 p.m., in the college’s
library (Building F).
Then to continue his presentation, Mariani will show clips of the film, “The
Broken Tower,” which is based on his written biography of the iconic poet
Hart Crane, on Friday, September 16, at 6 p.m., in the Recital Hall (Building
H). Mariani will discuss the biography and his collaboration to adapt a script
for the film with James Franco, the film’s starring actor and producer/director.
Mariani is the author of more than 200 reviews and essays, four critical studies,
a spiritual memoir, 10 books, six volumes of poetry, and five biographies of
poets including Crane, William Carlos Williams, John Berryman, Robert Lowell,
and most recently, Gerald Manley Hopkins.
All his written biographies have been listed as “Notable Books” by
the New York Times, and his biography of Williams was short-listed for the American
Book Award.
Mariani has been awarded two fellowships from The Guggenheim Foundation, two
from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and one from the National Endowment
for the Arts. In 2009, Mariani was awarded the John Ciardi Award for Lifetime
Achievement in Poetry.
For more than 30 years, Mariani taught English at the University of Massachusetts.
Since 2000, he has served as a chair in the English department at Boston College.
The goal of the Writers in Performance series is to bring thought-provoking
literature and cultural diversity to the campus of LSC-Montgomery and the surrounding
community. The series’ events are made possible by the partnership between
the Montgomery County Literary Arts Council, LSC-Montgomery Library, the Conroe
Commission on the Arts and Culture, Good Books in the Woods, LSC-Montgomery’s
Academy for Lifelong Learning, and SWIRL, LSC-Montgomery’s magazine of
student art and writing.
