Prizewinning Poet at UUF

Robin Chapman

Robin Chapman will be the featured poet in the UU Fellowship’s Dickinson Poetry Series on May 13 at 7 pm. Chapman teaches poetry workshops in Door County and collaborates with physicists, photogravure artists, painters, and composers in her work. She is the author of nine books of poetry, including the Posner Poetry Award-winning Images of a Complex World: the Art and Poetry of Chaos (with J.C. Sprott), The Dreamer Who Counted the Dead (recipient of a Wisconsin Library’s Outstanding Book Award), and Abundance (winner of the Cider Press Review Editors’ Book Award).

She is also a co-editor of the anthologies On Retirement and Love Over Sixty; a 2014 Fellow of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters; recipient of the 2010 Appalachia Poetry Prize; and a lifelong, if sometimes lapsed, Unitarian.

Chapman will read from recent work in her Tebot Bach collections on climate change: the eelgrass meadow and One Hundred White Pelicans; and her portfolio collaboration with photogravure artist Peter Miller, Dappled Things (Paris: Revue K).

On the second Wednesday of every month, the Dickinson Poetry Series features a reading by a local or regional poet followed by an open mic and reception. The public is welcome, and admission is free. The UUF is located at 10341 Hwy. 42 in Ephraim. For more information call 920.854.7559.
