He is the author of the poetry collections Surfaces (2004) and Paramnesia (2016) and the chapbook clause automata (2001). His translations of Greek tragedies, including Sophocles’s Ajax (2008) and Aeschylus’s Seven Against Thebes (2015), have garnered praise for their “vigor and careful tuning … [and] terse idiomatic grace.” Tipton was the founder and director of the Chicago Poetry Project, a long-running reading series that ended in 2011. With Peter O’Leary, Tipton founded the small literary press Verge Books in 2013 in an effort to continue and extend the Chicago Poetry Project’s mission.

  • Frank X. Walker Poetry Reading
    Frank X. Walker Poetry Reading CART Provided by A La CARTe Connection This rough edit transcript, which may contain missing, misspelled or paraphrased words, is only provided for your immediate review and is not certified as verbatim and is not to be cited in any way. >> KIKI: Good evening, everyone. I'm Professor Kiki Petrosino, the director of the creative writing program here at U of L. I teach creative writing and literature here. First of all, I want to tell you a little bit about the Anne and William Axton Reading Series. This reading series was established in 1999 through the generosity of the late William Axton, former University of Louisville professor of English and his wife, the late Anne Axton. The series brings emerging and distinguished writers from across the country to the University of Louisville for two ‑ day visits to read from their work and to share their knowledge and expertise with the University and the community. Writers give a public reading and a Q and A on the first day, and on the fooling morning, they're invited to conduct a master class where select student work is critiqued. All of these events are free and open to the public. Okay? So tonight, we are honored to have Frank X. Walker in our midst, and I'd like to note that this is a makeup reading from last spring when the snow kept us all apart. So as part of this Axton visit, Professor Walker already gave his master class review on March 27th, so tonight we will just be here enjoying his poetry, listening to it here in this public setting.
