The Particulars of Being: Poetry Reading by Michael David Roberts

Join Michael David Roberts as he reads poems from his book, The Particulars of Being as well as some new pieces. Roberts is the Associate Dean of Instruction for the Humanities at Fresno City College, where he taught English for twelve years. His poems have been published in numerous literary journals throughout the United States.

“Michael Roberts' poems explore, even celebrate, the contradictory human desire to be at once grounded in this world and to transcend it. They vibrate with the elemental energies of wind and water and light, and though the people in these poems look often toward the sky, and though the dream of flight is a frequent companion, the poems themselves redirect us toward the things of this earth."
