Ed Pavlić is the author of the novel Another Kind of Madness. Widely published as a poet, he is the author of the collection Visiting Hours at the Color Line, winner of the 2013 National Poetry Series, as well as several others, including Live at the Bitter End: A Trial by Opera, Let’s Let That Are Not Yet: Inferno, and Let It Be Broke (forthcoming in 2020). Pavlić teaches English at the University of Georgia. The event is hosted by Terrance Hayes, whose latest poetry collection American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin was a finalist for the 2018 National Book Award.
