SUMMARY:The Center for Poetry's Read a Poet, Write a Poem Workshop: Lisel Mueller
DESCRIPTION:
 Poet and translator Lisel Mueller was born in 
 Hamburg, Germany in 1924. The daughter of teachers, 
 her family was forced to flee the Nazi 
 regime when Mueller was 15. They immigrated 
 to the US and settled in the Mid-west. Mueller 
 attended the University of Evansville, where 
 her father was a professor, and did her graduate 
 study at Indiana University. Her collections 
 of poetry include "The Private Life," which 
 was the 1975 Lamont Poetry Selection; "Second 
 Language" (1986); "The Need to Hold Still" 
 (1980), which received the National Book 
 Award; "Learning to Play by Ear" (1990); and 
 "Alive Together: New & Selected Poems" (1996), 
 which won the Pulitzer Prize. Her other awards 
 and honors include the Carl Sandburg Award, 
 the Helen Bullis Award, the Ruth Lilly Prize, 
 and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship. 
 She has also published translations, 
 most recently "Circe's Mountain" by Marie Luise 
 Kaschnitz (1990).\n
 \n
 Participants in this 
 workshop should have some familiarity with the 
 poems from Mueller's "Alive Together: New 
 & Selected Poems." Grand Rapids-based poet Linda 
 Nemec Foster will join us to speak about 
 her professional relationship with Mueller and 
 lead discussion along with Professor Anita 
 Skeen about Mueller's poems. There will be another 
 workshop on Monday, January 28, which will 
 focus on writing poems based on tonight's 
 discussion. We welcome writers of all levels 
 and backgrounds to both workshops.\n\n
