Portrait of Eduardo C. Corral and cover image of his book, Guillotine

We invite you to an unforgettable morning of poetry with Eduardo C. Corral, a celebrated poet and an essential voice in contemporary literature. On Monday, April 7 at 11:00 AM, Corral will host a poetry reading and Question and Answer session with the OCC community.  

Corral is the son of Mexican immigrants and the author of two critically acclaimed poetry collections: Guillotine, published by Graywolf Press, and Slow Lightning. His work explores themes of identity, migration, and resilience, and his poems often blend English and Spanish to create evocative and powerful imagery.  Corral is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Lannan Foundation Literary Fellowship, a Whiting Writers’ Award, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a Hodder Fellowship from Princeton University. He teaches in the MFA program at Washington University in St. Louis.
