Poets Jessica Fisher and Mary Ruefle present a reading and conversation in celebration of their new books. Fisher’s third book of poetry, Daywork (Milkweed Editions, 2024), takes its title from the giornata—the fresco painting term for the section of wet plaster that can be painted in a single day. Fisher is an associate professor of English at Williams College. Mary Ruefle is a prolific writer of poetry and prose, including most recently The Book (Wave Books, 2023) and Dunce (Wave Books, 2019), which was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize. She is the poet laureate of Vermont.
