GROVE CITY, Pa. – Grove City College Professor of English Dr. Eric Potter recently authored his second book of poems, “Still Life,” published by Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, and edited by poet David Craig. Potter will perform a reading of his poems Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. in the Great Room of the Breen Student Union on campus.
In “Still Life,” Potter explores Christian themes and experiences, offering a range of voices and forms, from personal lyrics to dramatic monologues and free verse to villanelles. Several of the book’s poems address the struggle of faith in the face of suffering, loss and doubt, while others revisit stories from the Bible and church history in an effort to see them anew.
In 2010, Potter and alumna Kelly Beahm ’07 collaborated to publish his first book of poems, “Heart Murmur.” The book, published by Twisted Tree Press, addressed the difficulties of parenting, aging, memory, nostalgia and the inevitability of death.
Potter joined the Grove City College faculty in 2000 and was honored as the College’s Professor of the Year in 2009.
