LHU to host poetry reading by Pennsylvania writer

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - As part of Lock Haven University’s Up-Write Reading Series, on Mon., Oct. 20 at 7 pm, nationally known poet Philip Terman will read selections from his poetry in the multipurpose room of the Parson’s Union Building.

Terman’s collections of poems include “The House of Sages,” “Book of the Unbroken Days,” “Greatest Hits” and “Rabbis of the Air.” According to an Amazon.com reviewer, in “Rabbis of the Air,” Terman “writes of his Jewish ancestry and his current home in rural Pennsylvania, combining a fine lyric sensibility with an awareness of history and mystical tradition.”

Terman’s poems and essays have appeared in The Georgia Review, Poetry, The Kenyon Review, The New England Review, The Gettysburg Review, Tikkun, and other journals. He teaches at Clarion University and co-directs the Chautauqua Writers’ Festival at the Chautauqua Institute. Books will be available for purchase and signing at this free event.

Additional information and a sampling of Terman’s poems is available at
