The Art of Numbers
Poet Heather McHugh, Pollock Professor of Creative Writing at University of Washington, and 2009 recipient of a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant, will talk about individual instances of what John Donne’s era called “the art of numbers” (or poetry itself). With humor and playfulness, McHugh’s work brings an original perspective to such themes as love and mortality. In making her a MacArthur Fellow, the Foundation recognized her eight volumes of poetry, numerous works of translation and book of essays on poetics, calling her “a significant voice in American literary life for almost four decades.” She has taught at University of Washington since 1984.
