Poet to share from her book "Migrations"

Ashland University professor of English Debbie Fleming will present “Migrations: Poems of Love, Nature and the Environment” at 7 p.m. on March 27 in Jordan Lecture Hall of the Carver Science Center.

Also the assistant editor of the Ashland Poetry Press at Ashland University in Ohio, Fleming will read from her limited edition publication of “Migrations” by Finishing Line Press. Fleming’s poems, which have an environmentalist theme, are inspired by the hill country of eastern Ohio where she grew up, as well as her farm in northeast Ohio and her travels in Europe and California.

Fleming has also published “A Man Who Does Not Exist: The Irish Peasant in the Work of W.B. Yeats and J.M. Synge,” and numerous articles on Yeats, Eamon Grennan and Robinson Jeffers.

Fleming’s poetry reading is free and open to the public. For more information, phone (515) 961-1600.
