Author Lisa Robertson to Visit Temple

Canadian poet Lisa Robertson will visit Temple as part of the Poets & Writers Series.

Robertson's books of poetry include The Men: A Lyric Book, XEclogue, Debbie: An Epic, The Weather, and Rousseau's Boat.  She writes essays and collaborative texts for the visual arts, and these have been collected in the book Occasional Works and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft Architecture.

Robertson has taught or held residencies at many universities, including Naropa’s Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics. After 4 years living in France, where she began translating the poetry of Eric Suchere and Michele Bernstein's Situationist novel Tous les chevaux du roi, she is now visiting artist at California College of the Arts.
