Winner of Five Points’ James Dickey Prize for Poetry, Macari will discuss her work and the craft of writing at an informal Q&A session in the afternoon, followed by a reading in the evening. Macari's visit is sponsored by the Poetry Center at Smith College, and supported by the Program for the Study of Women and Gender.

The event is free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible.

Anne Marie Macari’s Ivory Cradle was selected by Robert Creeley to win the APR/Honickman First Book prize. The collection, wrote Thomas Lux, “announces a poet fully formed…and wild to say things in ways they’ve never been said before.”

Macari’s second book, Gloryland, dubbed “sumptuously visceral” by Publisher’s Weekly, re-examines motherhood, death, birth, and rebirth, drawing on religious and secular creation myths to enact a feminist religion.
