Reading from Rhea Tregebov’s 7th Collection of Poetry, All Souls’ Tregebov, Rhea

Description

Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by Green College's Principal's Series: Interdisciplinarity In Action. Bluesy, opinionated, sly, self-chastising and tender, UBC Creative Writing professor Rhea Tregebov’s All Souls’—her first collection since 2004—commands a range of tones wider and bolder than anything in her previous six books. All Souls’ bracingly addresses the quandary at the heart of our present moment: the fear of change and the fear of standing still. Enriched by a sharp palate and crackling with confidence, Tregebov’s new poems capture life in all its rueful aspects, and do so with a lyricism of considerable beauty and power. Rhea Tregebov, is professor at the Creative Writing Program, UBC. This lecture is part of the ongoing Green College Principal's Series: Thinking at the Edge of Reading: Interdisciplinarity in Action.
