At 19:00 Barrie Selwyn will give a talk on the subject of Heidegger, Wallace Stevens and the Poetry of Being.

For those unfamiliar with his work, Wallace Stevens (October 2, 1879 – August 2, 1955) was an American modernist poet. He was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, educated at Harvard and then New York Law School, and he spent most of his life working as an executive for an insurance company in Hartford, Connecticut. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his Collected Poems in 1955.
