Award-winning UI alumni share nature-inspired works
By Rebecca Koons, September 24, 2009
The simplest and most complex things can inspire poetry. A distinctive talent is necessary to craft a work that not only makes sense but has greater meaning.
Two graduates of the Iowa Writers Workshop have turned this talent into a satisfying career. Jared Stanley and Jessica Savitz will share their works at Prairie Lights Books, 15 S. Dubuque St., at 7 p.m. today.
Both Stanley and Savitz drew initial influence in the realm of poetry from various styles of music. Savitz was, throughout her life, surrounded by the musical styles of her father, who was a guitarist and songwriter. For Stanley, the hip-hop rivalries of his school days, which were prevalent at the time, affected him deeply.
