WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, April 27 at 4 pm, the Clark Art Institute hosts a reading and conversation with poets Jessica Fisher and Mary Ruefle in its auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center. 

 

The free event is presented in celebration of their new books, "Daywork" and "The Book," respectively.

 

According to a press release:

 

Fisher's third book of poetry, "Daywork" (Milkweed Editions, 2024), takes its title from the giornata—the fresco painting term for the section of wet plaster that can be painted in a single day. Fisher is an associate professor of English at Williams College. Mary Ruefle is a prolific writer of poetry and prose, including most recently "The Book" (Wave Books, 2023) and "Dunce" (Wave Books, 2019), which was a finalist for the 2020 Pulitzer Prize.
