Poetry for the Pioneers

Do you enjoy listening to poetry? Utica College is having Danniel Schoonebeek read his work Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the MacFarlane Auditorium in DePerno Hall. The reading will take place on the main campus. DePerno Hall is directly across from the library. Admissions is free.

Schoonebeek’s book, American Barricade, was named one of 2014’s ten standout debuts by Poets & Writers. The Boston Review called it “a groundbreaking first book that stands to influence the aesthetic disposition of its author’s generation.”

His work’s been published in many publications including: The New Yorker, Iowa Review, The Brooklyn Rail, Poetry, and more.

Schoonebeek’s next book, C’est la guerre, will be released by Poor Claudia later this year. C’est la guerre is a travelogue.
