Learn more about Professor Kamran Javadizadeh's residence at the James Merrill House in this article.
From the article:
"Oh, and 'yes, I've been working mostly in Merrill's secret study, the one you enter through a bookcase,' Javadizadeh says. 'How great is that? It's amazing. I've heard some of the (Merrill) fellows are more interested in the possibilities of a quiet space to work and maybe aren't particularly fans of Merrill or even poetry. For others like me, though, this is a magical opportunity because of how deeply we revere the man who lived and wrote here. You can certainly feel his presence.'"
Professor Javadizadeh will give a virtual reading from the Merrill House on Saturday, March 26 at 5:00 pm.
