English Poet Laureate Andrew Motion is the author of more than 15 poetry collections and four biographies, including PHILIP LARKIN: A WRITER'S LIFE. THE INDEPENDENT of London called Mr. Motion's recent memoir, IN THE BLOOD, a "most moving and exquisitely written account of childhood loss." About Wendy Salinger's memoir LISTEN, Pat Conroy wrote, "The writing is perfectly beautiful: strip-mined jewels of language...a great book a great distinction." Ms. Salinger, the coordinator of the Poetry Center's Schools Project, is also the author of FOLLY RIVER, a book of poems. Tickets are $18 / $10 for those under 35 years of age. Call (212) 415-5500 or visit www.92Y.org/poetry for more information.
