The Hill Center impressed chef Isabel Coss the very first time she visited, and long before she knew she’d be teaching there.

The Life of a Poet is a quarterly series of conversations that Hill Center launched in 2013. The series offers a rare opportunity to consider a writer’s entire career and explore the major events that have shaped their work. Featured poets have included Poet Laureate, Ada Limón, Elizabeth Alexander, Terrance Hayes, Adrian Matejka and Marilyn Chin, among many others. Accomplished poet and editor, Kyle Dargan, curates the series and expertly moderates each conversation. On Thursday, January 23rd, celebrated poet and librettist Janine Joseph is our guest.
