Lia Purpura

The University of Vermont Fleming Museum of Art’s spring exhibitions, “Global Miniatures” and “Small Worlds: Miniatures in Contemporary Art,” explore how little things can make a big impact. In association with these exhibitions, lauded writer Lia Purpura reads and discusses her essay “On Miniatures,” in which she examines the allure of small-scale objects. The four-time Pushcart Prize-winning wordsmith, who has published four poetry collections and three essay collections, also lets lit lovers in on her upcoming book of essays, All the Fierce Tethers, due this month.

These community event listings are sponsored by the WaterWheel Foundation, a project of the Vermont band Phish.
