Tickets available for renowned poet’s Earth Day speech
February 22, 2008
Poet Mary Oliver will speak as part of PLU’s Earth Week celebration on Tuesday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Lagerquist Concert Hall.
Oliver’s poetry, with her lyrical connection to the natural world, has firmly established her in the highest realm of American poets. She has received countless distinctions, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Her recent visit to Seattle’s Benaroya Hall sold out in record time.
Tickets are required for admission. The majority of the tickets are reserved for the campus community and are available through the Campus Concierge at ext. 7411. Tickets are free and university identification is required. Faculty and staff can receive two tickets per PLU ID, while students can receive one.
Upon entering the event, a PLU ID must be presented along with the ticket. If a PLU ID is not presented, the ticketholder will turned away. This is to prevent campus community members from selling their tickets to the public, said Jason Skipper, assistant professor of English.
After April 1, any available seats will be sold to the general public.
Oliver’s visit is also part of the English department’s Visiting Writers Series.
