Please join us for a very special Vocarium event, which will mark our first annual Fanny Howe Memorial Reading. Our two honored guests Elizabeth Robinson (VULNERABILITY INDEX, 2025) and Rosmarie Waldrop (THE NICK OF TIME, 2021) will be reading from their recent work as well as sharing a favorite poem by Fanny Howe.The event will be introduced by acclaimed poet and essayist Kate Colby, author of PARADOX (Essay Press, 2025), and will take place in the presence of Houghton Library’s new Ted Gorey exhibit, "This Gloomy Gallery," featuring many posters he designed for the Poets Theatre (founded by Fanny’s mother Mary Manning Howe).
We look forward to hosting an annual reading that reflects the ethos of the late Fanny Howe (1940-2025). We believe this year's readers, whose remarkable works delve into the nature of reality and the questions of consciousness and the spirit, resonate with her breathtaking oeuvre and her generous, generative presence. Please join us in welcoming them to campus.
