Poets in the Field: Matthias Regan

Join us for a pop-up poetry reading with Matthias Regan at the Field Museum. Poets in the Field welcomes an engaging set of poets with distinct voices to the Museum to share their work and creatively connect visitors to nature and culture. Listen as each poet reads their poems in the exhibitions. Then, stay for a Q&A with the poet. No prior experience with poetry necessary. This event is hosted by the Field’s poet-in-residence. Locations inside the Field Museum vary for each event.

Matthias Regan’s poetry publications include Gaper’s Delay (Virtual Artists Collective), and numerous chapbooks, such as Charades / The Crooked Path, Death Blossoms, CHVMS, Oil Slick Rainbows, and The Slithering Shadow and The Speckled Band. He organized The Next Objectivists Poetry Workshop at Mess Hall and at the Midwest Row Crop Collaborative, he worked on Watersheds. His research includes progressive-era poetry by Carl Sandburg and others; information about his current project may be found on his website. He currently teaches in the English Department at North Central College.
