Book Discussion | Reading and Discussion with Writer Anne Boyer


A reading by Anne Boyer followed by a conversation/Q&A with Hari Kunzru and a reception/signing. Poet and essayist Anne Boyer was born and raised in Kansas. She earned a BA from Kansas State University and an MFA from Wichita State University. Her works include The Romance of Happy Workers (2006), My Common Heart(2011), Garments Against Women (2015, 2016), which Maureen McLane described as "a sad, beautiful, passionate book that registers the political economy of literature and of life itself," and Handbook of Disappointed Fate (2018). According to critic Chris Strofollino, Boyer's work "widens the boundaries of poetry and memoir as we know them." She was the inaugural winner of the 2018 Cy Twombly Award for Poetry from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and winner of the 2018 Whiting Award in nonfiction/poetry. She was also awarded the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize in early 2020 and the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction for her book The Undying: Pain, Vulnerability, Mortality, Medicine, Art, Time, Dreams, Data, Exhaustion, Cancer, and Care. Boyer lives in Kansas City, Missouri, where since 2011 she has been a professor at the Kansas City Art Institute.
