About the event

The Hemingway Center Reading Series presents: Diane Raptosh

"[Raptosh] has the control of a skilled conductor, steering her trains of thought through sharp turns of phrase and multi-layered emotional terrain." — Joey Nicoletti

"Diane Raptosh’s poems balance reticence against revelation to create a poetry that is urgent, fresh, and beautiful." --Alice Fulton
