Prize-winning, globally-admired poet Adam Zagajewski<\/a> writes with precision and wonder about the calm and courage of ordinary life. He says of poetry that it \u201cis like a human face\u2014it is an object that can be measured, described, catalogued, but it is also an appeal.\u201d His most recent book, Slight Exaggeration<\/i><\/a>, is a blend of memoir, essay, and anecdote, and in which he defines poetry as \u201ca slight exaggeration, until we make ourselves at home in it. Then it becomes the truth.\u201d Zagajewski is interviewed by fellow writer, friend, novelist, and Chair of the UC Riverside writing program Andrew Winer<\/a>. Book signing to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n
