Doug Lang, poet, teacher, and friend, exerted an influence on art and poetry that is impossible to exaggerate. Thousands of students at the Corcoran College of Art and Design learned directly from Doug that poetry and writing are open and accessible. Poets, especially in the greater Washington DC area, revered Doug for his humor, wit, innovation, and knowledge. Like James Joyce and Dublin, Doug never really left Swansea and his beloved Swans, even though he lived most of his life in DC. Doug died in November of 2022.
Friends and former students will gather at Rhizome for a reading to celebrate his life, poetry, and friendship. Please join us. Seats are limited.
