From Poetry on Brick Street:
Poetry on Brick Street will present Joseph Heithaus as the featured poet and speaker at 6:30 pm Thursday March 1, 2012 in the cellar room at G. Simone’s Café (112C South Main Street in downtown Zionsville, Indiana).
Joseph Heithaus teaches at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana where he and his wife are raising their four children. His poems have appeared in Poetry, North American Review, the Southern Review, Prairie Schooner and Indiana Review. He is one of five “Airpoets,” whose poems have been integrated into stained-glass window murals in the new Indianapolis International Airport and are featured in two books, Rivers, Rails and Runways and Airmail.
He was winner of the “Discover”/The Nation Prize in 2007 for a group of ten “Poison Sonnets,” inspired by illustrations of poison plants in an old Webster’s Dictionary. Those original sonnets are included in his newest collection titled Poison Sonnets (David Robert Books, 2012).
His poem "Indiana Flight" was chosen by the Writers' Center of Indiana for inclusion in British artist Martin Donlin's stained glass murals in the new Indianapolis International Airport. His poem "What Grows Here" is painted on a barn just outside of Greencastle. He continues to work on a translation project with Salvadoran poets Jonathan Velazquez, Fabrizzio Sagett, Hector Planas, and Crosby Lemus.
An open mic for poets will follow the featured speaker.
