April 6, 2007 -- The University of Wyoming Creative Writing Program will host award-winning Scots poet Roddy Lumsden Friday, April 13, as part of its visiting writer series.
Lumsden will read from his work at 5 p.m. in William Robertson Coe Library. He will answer audience questions and sign books following the presentation.
He has published four poetry books including "Yeah Yeah Yeah," "The Book of Love," which was short-listed for Britain's prestigious T.S. Eliot Prize, "Roddy Lumsden is Dead," and, most recently, "Mischief Night -- New and Selected Poems." Lumsden has read his work widely in the U.K., the United States, Sweden, Ireland and the Philippines.
His poems are chronicles of longing and heartbreak, booze and blues. As erudite as they are hip, the poems include humor with surprising touches of tenderness and sensuality, according to reviewers.
Originally from St. Andrews, Scotland, Lumsden now lives in London where he teaches at City University and other colleges.
