Philip Levine, Fresno State Professor Emeritus of English who turned 80 in January, will be honored tonight (Feb. 7) by the Fresno Poet’s Association.
The association said, “This is a celebration of the poetic career of this Pulitzer Prize winner, but it is no less a celebration of his enormously influential teaching career that spanned four decades at California State University, Fresno. On hand for the festivities will be, of course, the man himself. His former CSUF colleagues Peter Everwine, C. G. Hanzlicek, and Corrinne Hales will join a host of Phil’s former students. The readers will read both from Phil’s work and their own.”
