Please join us in celebrating Washington University English professor and esteemed poet Mary Jo Bang, author of eight books of poetry, the most recent of which is A Doll for Throwing (Graywolf Press, 2017). She has won numerous awards and fellowships, including a National Book Critics Circle Award, a Hodder Fellowship from Princeton University, a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, and a Berlin Prize fellowship at the American Academy in Berlin. Her literary papers are now part of the University Libraries’ Modern Literature Collection, and include correspondence, drafts, photographs, journals, and other materials that give insight into the life, mind, and talent of this American literary treasure.Parking is available in Millbrook Garage in the yellow zones and visitor spaces only; not valid in metered spaces.
