\"Billone_small\"<\/a>Amy Billone will read from her new poetry collection at UT’s Writers in the Library on Monday, September 29, at 7 p.m. in the Lindsay Young Auditorium of the John C. Hodges Library. The reading is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

Billone’s poetry collection, The Light Changes<\/a><\/em> — named one of Kirkus Review<\/em>‘s best books of 2013<\/a> — invokes the biographical and creative worlds of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sylvia Plath, and Virginia Woolf. Kirkus<\/em> has called the book “thrilling in its courageousness, breathtaking in its vividness.” The Light Changes<\/em> also won the IndieReader Discovery Award in Poetry<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n

Amy Billone is currently an associate professor of English at the University of Tennessee, where she teaches courses on 19th century literature, children’s and young adult literature, and world literature. Her areas of expertise include romanticism, children’s and young adult literature, Victorian poetry, gothic studies, creative writing, women writers, and continental poetry. Her scholarly book Little Songs: Women, Silence, and the Nineteenth-Century Sonnet<\/a><\/em> (2007) is informed by her unique perspective as a woman poet. As the only extended study of 19th century female sonneteers, Little Songs<\/em> sheds light on the overwhelming impact that silence makes, not only on British women\u2019s poetry, but also on the development of modern poetry and thought. Amy Billone also wrote the introduction and notes for the Barnes and Noble Classics edition of Peter Pan<\/em> (2005).
