ON TOUR THIS SPRING

Here are some places I'll be this spring to speak with friends, colleagues and strangers about poetry's ecstatic rebellions against ultranationalism—in which I fully believe. There may be a few others but this is the basic gist of the geographies. Hope to see some of you along the way; meanwhile, please enjoy this bas-relief vision of the Pentecost by Donatello from Florence's San Lorenzo.
