Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome local poet, memoirist, publisher, and teacher WILLIAM CORBETT as he reads from his new book, The Whalen Poem.
"I spent the summer of 2007 reading the galleys of Philip Whalen's Collected Poems. I was in Vermont and had the leisure to read slowly, ten or so pages a day. About halfway through the master's poems I began to write The Whalen Poem. I kept at it until just after Halloween. No book I have written, poetry or prose, has given me the deep pleasure I felt in writing The Whalen Poem." —William Corbett
