Gordon Osing will be reading his poetry for us on November 17th. Gordon grew up in central Illinois and Western Missouri. He taught elementary school in suburban St. Louis and Indepencence, Missouri and High Schools in Chicago and Missouri for ten years before heading back to campus at the University of Arkansas, for an MFA in Poetry in 1973. Inspired by writers such as David Wagoner, Karl Shapiro, Nancy Willard, Gwendolyn Brooks, Howard Nemerov and Richard Wilbur, he discovered that poetry could be a way to keep private matters by making them inot poetic artifacts.
