PHILIP SCHULTZ

Pulitzer Prize-winning Poet

“Philip Schultz’s poems
have long since earned their own place in American poetry. His stylistic
trademarks are his great emotional directness and his intelligent haranguing—of
god, the reader, and himself. He is one of the least affected of American
poets, and one of the fiercest.” —Tony Hoagland

One of American poetry’s
longtime masters of the art, Philip Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize-winning
poet and the founder/director of The Writers Studio, a private school for
fiction and poetry writing based in New York City. He is the author of several
collections of poetry, including Failure (Harcourt,
2007), winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize. These poems give voice to
failures of many kinds and yet they are full of tenderness, empathy, and
heartbreaking honesty, giving equal praise to the joy of life.

Please feel free to bring
blankets, lawn chairs, and a picnic dinner as you make yourself at home in the
beautiful setting of the Hill-Stead Museum and gardens. 

Admission is $10/person;
