The reading will be preceded by a memorial dedication ceremony at the deck site starting at noon. Knight is the sister-in-law of Louis Weiss.
A graduate of the University of Michigan and Syracuse University, where she was a fellow in poetry, Knight spent 41 years teaching at the high school and college level, and currently works writing and translating in Berkeley (CA). She’s written many books and won numerous awards, including the Rattle Poetry Prize (2009), the Theodore Roethke Award (2007) and the Prix de l’Alliance Française aux Etats-Unis (2006).

In case of inclement weather, Knight’s poetry reading will move from the River Trail to Between the Covers bookstore (1 p.m.)
In cooperation with the Montrose Regional Library, the regular Talking Gourds fall/winter poetry reading series continues with Laurie James of Salida October 6th and 7th, and Vonda Harris of Delta and Carol McDermott of Montrose November 3rd and 4th. We’ll be ending the year with the husband/wife poetry team of Ruth Duffy and Michael Olchewsky of Nucla December 1st and 2nd.
