# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Susan McLean Poetry Reading
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Susan McLean, retired professor of English at Southwest Minnesota State University, for an evening of poetry.

Susan will be reading from her latest collection, Daylight Losing Time, which includes metered verses about her experiences with other SWMN poets, her time at SMSU, travel, and everyday life.

From the publisher: Daylight Losing Time, Susan McLean’s third full-length collection, turns the poet’s formal tools—sonnet, villanelle, triolet, ballade—on the art and aftermath of loss. The book moves through three movements: departures and endings in “The Art of Leaving,” where Emily Dickinson writes to Andrew Marvell, Edna St. Vincent Millay gets a sonnenizio, Ursula K. Le Guin receives a moon-haunted elegy, and a mother reads mysteries by Kindle-light through her last illness; the public and planetary disorientations of “Bewildered,” with its confused lilacs, locked-down Rome, and police-shooting villanelle; and the fires of memory and self in “Burning the Journals,” where Twain, narcissism, and inherited landscapes come under the same unsparing eye. McLean’s voice—elegiac, witty, unsparing—finds in traditional forms a shelter tough enough to hold grief and still turn back to the light.

Daylight Losing Time will be widely available after November 27, but copies may be available for purchase at the event.
