Immediate Song is a combination concert and poetry reading inspired by University of Cincinnati emeritus professor Don Bogen’s latest book with the same title. Immediate Song is anchored in brief lyric poems, and the poet will alternate readings with musical interludes by mezzo-soprano Kate Tombaugh and pianist Jill Jantzen as they present settings of Bogen’s poetry by contemporary composers Steven Weimer and Ellen Harrison.

Don Bogen
Don Bogen is the author of five books of poems, including Immediate Song, Luster and An Algebra, along with a critical book on Theodore Roethke and a translation of selected poems by the contemporary Spanish poet Julio Martínez Mesanza. Nathaniel Ropes Professor Emeritus at the University of Cincinnati, he serves as editor-at-large of the Cincinnati Review and divides his time between Cincinnati and Martinez, California.
This is a collection about time—about memory, and remembrance, and how the past makes itself manifest in the world.
