Library Talks | Jodie Hollander Poetry Reading

We’re delighted to be welcoming Arizona-based poet, Jodie Hollander, back to The Morrab Library to be our Poet in Residence for one month. Her Residency is kindly sponsored by The Myner Trust.

Jodie Hollander’s work has appeared in journals such as The Poetry Review, Poetry Magazine and PN Review to name just a few. She is also the recipient of a MacDowell fellowship and a Fulbright fellowship in South Africa. She is also the originator of ‘Poetry in the Parks,’ in conjunction with several National Parks and Monuments in the US.

Jodie visited our library in 2023 as part of her national book tour, presenting a reading to members, as well as hosting a poetry workshop. In 2024, she judged the Sonnet category of the Patricia Eschen Prize for Poetry.

At this event to open her Residency at the Library, Jodie Hollander will read from her first two collections, ‘My Dark Horses’ (Pavilion Poetry 2017) and ‘Nocturne’ (Pavilion Poetry 2023) as well as new work from her collection in progress.
