Professor to Read from His New Book of Poetry
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. – David Swerdlow, professor of English at Westminster College, will read poems from his third book of poetry, “Nightstand,” at the Bleasby Colloquium at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21, in the McKelvey Campus Center’s Berlin Lounge.
Admission is free, and copies of the book will be available to be purchased and signed by the author.
Published through Broadstone Books this summer, Swerdlow’s latest collection highlights the struggle to shelter family in violent times.
“While ‘Nightstand’ includes poems that contend with mass shootings, political brutality, terrorism, genocide and a growing list of other horrors that threaten us more and more directly every day, I believe these poems also partake in love, in the spirit of dignity that can be our way forward,” Swerdlow said.
