Haskins
Two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee and computer scientist Lola Haskins will read from her books of poetry at 7:30 p.m. in Rĝlvaag Memorial Library, Room 525. At 3:30 p.m. in Boe Chapel 144, Haskins will participate in a discussion titled "Woman with Two Brains." Haskins? visit is sponsored by the St. Olaf English Department?s Visiting Writers Series, Women?s Studies, and the Boldt Chair in the Humanities. "Lola Haskins is a particularly good fit for Women?s History Month because she blends the scientific with the imaginative in her own life," says writer and St. Olaf English Professor Jim Heynen. "Her poetry has a broad range, but much of her work is rooted in women?s history and in human beings? sensual relationship with each other and with the earth. It is a poetry deeply rooted in the body but transcendent in its scope."
