The Creative Writing Program at Grossmont presents an evening with UCSD Professor of Poetry and Poetics Rae Armantrout. Poet Robert Creeley notes that Armantrout's poems have "a quiet and enabling signature. . . . I don't think there's another poet writing who is so consummate in authority and yet so generous to her readers and company alike." Educated at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State, Armantrout studied with Denise Levertov and was part of the first generation of Language Poets; she has since forged a growing international reputation with over eight books of poetry, most recently Versed (Wesleyan, 2009).
