About this Event
Tompkins Corners will welcome Jim Zimmerman to the Poets’ Corner as the first featured Poet of 2025. Widely published, he is the author of “Little Miracles” (Passager Books), "Family Cookout" (Comstock), for which he won the Jessie Bryce Niles Prize, and “The Further Adventures of Zen Patriarch Dōgen” (Poetry Box).
A frequent Pushcart Prize nominee, Zimmerman's work appears in Chicago Quarterly Review, december, Folio, Lumina, Nimrod, Pleiades, Rattle, and Reed, among numerous other journals and publications. He is also featured on websites such as The Poetry Foundation, American Life in Poetry, and Vallum.
Valuing his neurodivergence as an essential wellspring of his creative inspiration, he also cultivates roses, orchids, friends, and paradoxical questions in his spare time. https://jameskzimmerman.net.
