Adams St. 4th floor Held in partnership with The National Poetry Foundations series, Off the Shelf, poet Reginald Gibbons reads from the five odes of Oedipus the King.  Filled with sparkling language, still  intense and surprisingly modern in feeling, the five odes are among the most beautiful poems of antiquity. The odes capture the apprehension, fear, and hope of the townspeople of Thebes as the story of Oedipus unfolds in their midst. Incidental music provided by Fulcrum Point New Music Project led by Stephen Burns. The National Poetry Foundation is one of the largest independent literary foundations in the world and is committed to a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture. Reginald Gibbons' most recent book of poems, Creatures of a Day (2008), was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Award. His new translations of Sophocles, Selected Poems: Odes and Fragments (2008), won the Soeurette Diehl Fraser translation award from the Texas Institute of Letters. He teaches at Northwestern University.
