Keith O’Shaughnessy Reading at Labyrinth

Keith Poet

Princeton resident Keith O’Shaughnessy will be reading from his collection Last Call for Ganymede: Poems on Saturday, June 20, at 3 p.m.

Poet Rachel Hadas says that “Keith O’Shaughnessy inhabits and animates Phaedra, Cleopatra, Beatrice, and many others, and does so with lyric precision and crackling wit. The poems in this collection are like filigreed lightning.

Keith O’Shaughnessy is the author of Incommunicado, winner of the inaugural Grolier Discovery Award, sponsored by the poetry book shop on Harvard Square of the same name. He has also published three chapbooks — Carnaval, The Devil’s Party, and Snegurochka — all with Pudding House Press. He teaches literature, creative writing, and composition at Camden County College.
