ANN ARBOR—Richard Tillinghast, poet and University of Michigan professor of English, will give a free, public reading from his work as part of the University’s Visiting Writers Series in September.

The reading is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sept. 22, in Rackam Amphitheater.

Tillinghast teaches in the University’s creative writing program during the academic year, as well as at the Poet’s House in Northern Ireland each summer. In addition, he has published six books of poetry, including “The Stonecutter’s Hand” in 1995, and, most recently, “Today in the Cafe Trieste,” a collection of new and selected poems.

His essays, reviews and travel articles appear often in numerous publications. He also received the Amy Lowell Traveling Fellowship in 1990-91.
