The University of Findlay will host a reading by poet Tom Hunley at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in the Malcolm Dining Hall, located in the Gardner Fine Arts Pavilion. A reception and book signing will follow.

Hunley is the author of three full-length poetry collections: “The Tongue,” “Still, There’s a Glimmer” and “Octopus,” which recently won the Holland Prize and is forthcoming from Logan House Press.

His chapbooks include “My Life as a Minor Character,” which was a co-winner of the Pecan Grove Press chapbook contest. A collection of his essays was published as “Teaching Poetry Writing: A Five Canon Approach.” He also is the founder and director of Steel Toe Books and an assistant professor in the English department at Western Kentucky University.

The poetry reading is co-sponsored by the UF Convocations Committee, the English department and the College of Liberal Arts.

The reading and reception are both free and open to the public. For more information, contact Marianna Hofer, associate professor of English, at 419-434-4721, or e-mail hofer@findlay.edu.
