At his Ten Evenings lecture in November, clintsmithiii generously shared a few poems from his forthcoming collection. Now, we are very proud to announce Poets Aloud with Clint Smith: Wednesday, March 29 at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall. Clint Smith’s compelling new collection, Above Ground, traverses the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood, exploring how becoming a parent has recalibrated his sense of the world. Above Ground wrestles with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Register now to join us this March! #PoetsAloud #ClintSmith #HowTheWordIsPassed #TBRlist #ReadersOfInstagram #AuthorsOfInstagram #ThingsToDoInPittsburgh #WhatToDo412 #PittsburghLife Image description: Clint Smith is speaking from a podium on the Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures stage. A quote reads: "Poetry, for me, is both the creation of art but also the mechanism through which I do my best thinking."
