About the Speaker | Colin Criss teaches poetry in the Honors College at WSU. His work explores patterns and surprises—in language, the world around us, and the past. He also writes poems that embody these qualities, both for himself and for his readers. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares, Cyphers (Ireland), and fugue, with another forthcoming in The Irish Times.

LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.
