City Art and the Utah Arts Council present a Tribute Reading for Poet Leslie Norris.
The Utah Arts Council is teaming up with the City Art Reading Series to host a "Tribute Reading" in honor of BYU poet-in-residence Leslie Norris at the Salt Lake City Main Library on Wednesday, May 17 at 7 p.m.
Readers will pay tribute to the poet by reading their favorite Norris poems. Featured readers include Joel Long, Jim Barnes, Lance Larsen, Mike Dorrell, Guy Lebeda, Scott Hatch and Danielle Dubrasky.
Norris died at age 85 on April 6 from a cerebral hemorrhage following a stroke. Following his move to Utah in 1983, he taught creative writing at Brigham Young University, and retained the title of poet in residence after his retirement in 2003. Norris was considered one of the most important Welsh writers of the post-war period.
