Tufts University Art Galleries’ Lunchtime Talk Series features poetry reading by Natalie Shapero, a Professor of the Practice of Poetry at Tufts. Her most recent poetry collection is “Hard Child” (Copper Canyon, 2017), which was shortlisted for the International Griffin Poetry Prize. Her previous collection, “No Object” (Saturnalia, 2013), received the Great Lakes College Association New Writers Award. Shapero’s writing has appeared in The Nation, The New Republic, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Poetry, The Progressive, and elsewhere.

She holds degrees in creative writing and in law, and has worked as a litigation fellow with Americans United for Separation of Church and State. She is the recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Poetry Foundation, the Kenyon Review, and the Center for the Humanities at Tufts.

The event will take place in the Tisch Family Gallery.
