Join WLMS Host Bob Swan on January 26 at 6 PM as he visits with award-winning Michigan poet and novelist Laura Kasischke. Laura Kasischke was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and teaches in the MFA program at the University of Michigan. Kasischke has won numerous awards for her poetry, including the Juniper Prize, the Beatrice Hawley Award, the Alice Fay DiCastagnola Award, the Bobst Award for Emerging Writers, and the Rilke Poetry Prize from the University of North Texas. Her poetry collection Space, In Chains (2011) won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Kasischke’s poetry is noted for its intelligent, honest portrayal of domestic and familial life; its explosively accurate imagery and dense soundscapes; and its idiosyncratic use of narrative. According to Stephen Burt in the New York Times: “No poet has tried so hard to cut through suburban American illusion while respecting the lives, young and old, that it nurtures or saves. No poet has joined the chasm of ontological despair to the pathos of household frustration so well as Kasischke at her best.”
