Christopher Reid, a London-based poet and editor, will read his poems and talk about some of the great poets with whom he worked at the publisher Faber and Faber in the 1990s. Winner of  the Hawthornden Prize for his first collection, Arcadia (1979) and more recently the Costa Book of the Year Award 2009 for A Scattering, a collection of elegies for his wife, he edited Letters of Ted Hughes (2007) and Christopher Logue’s War Music (2015) and is now preparing his selection of Seamus Heaney’s correspondence for publication. His comic narrative poem The Song of Lunch was turned into a BBC film starring Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson.

Mr. Reid's Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies at CMC.
