Bobby Elliott in Conversation With Michael Dhyne
Details
Winner of the 2025 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize and a one-of-a-kind debut that asks what we owe those we love, Bobby Elliott’s The Same Man (University of Pittsburgh Press) is an aching chronicle of the early days of parenthood and the wounds of the past. Haunted by memory and powered by the demands and joys of new life, Elliott's poems wrestle with the father-son relationship at their core and the deep, unspoken harms that shape us. A relentless effort toward expression and autonomy, The Same Man is a reckoning and a balm, a rallying call and a father's song of devotion. Elliott will be joined in conversation by poet Michael Dhyne, author of Afterlife.
