Arlice W. Davenport, a member of District 5 of the Kansas Authors Club, will read from, comment on, and sign copies of his most recent book from Meadowlark Press, In Search of the Sublime. The event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 16 at Eighth Day Books, 2838 E. Douglas Ave., Wichita, KS.
Sublime is Davenport's fourth work from Meadowlark Press and his most ambitious to date. Drawing on the words of William Wordsworth, one of his favorite English Romantic poets, Davenport explores four themes: searching for the sublime in the self, Old World Europe, Nature's Kingdom, and the new worldview he has acquired from decades of travel around the globe. He is the author of three other poetry collections from Meadowlark Press: Setting the Waves on Fired, Everlasting: Poems, Kind of Blue:New Poems.
Davenport is the retired Books editor and Travel editor for The Wichita Eagle newspaper in Wichita, Kansas. As Books editor, he was a strong advocate for reviewing major names in poetry, including W. S. Merwin and Marvin Bell, whom he interviewed for features stories and, of course, reviews. You can reach him at [email protected].
