Poet, memoirist, and translator Ron Padgett discusses the friendship between two New York School poets. A fifteen-minute Q&A will follow this thirty-minute lecture.
Ron Padgett’s How Long was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in poetry and his Collected Poems won the LA Times Prize for the best poetry book of 2014 and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America, from whom he also received the Frost medal. Padgett’s most recent collection is Pink Dust (NYRB). In the fall of 2025, Coffee House Press will issue his Very Collected Poems. Padgett’s translations include Zone: Selected Poems of Guillaume Apollinaire (NYRB). Seven of his poems were used in Jim Jarmusch’s film Paterson. New York City has been his home base since 1960.
