The readings took place after First Class on August 9, 16 and 23 at 9:00 p.m., and on August 3, 4, 11, 18 and 25 at 9:30 p.m. From Roethke-inspired compositions by Ken Benshoof, former UW faculty member and Kronos Quartet composer, to new poetry from Kary Wayson, Rebecca Hoogs, Jennifer Borges Foster, J. W. Marshall, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Vis-á-Vis Society and others, to prose by Rebecca Brown, Matt Briggs, Jonathan Crimmins and Trisha Ready, the cabaret will be an exuberant celebration of Roethke’s literary legacy.
