T. R. Hummer is a native of Macon, Mississippi, who will read from his eighth collection of poems, Skandalon. In finely hewed verse, Hummer writes of stumbling blocks, both mortal and divine, of love and loss ranging from contemporary situations to mythological settings, from the pastoral to the blues. His other collections include Ephemeron, The Infitity Sessions, Walt Whitman in Hell, Useless Virtues, Lower-Class Heresy, The 18,000 Ton Olympic Dream, and The Passion of the Right-Angled Man
