Rosa Campbell on V.R. 'Bunny' Lang: The Miraculous Season

Rediscover Bunny Lang, a fascinating, eccentric and overlooked figure from early 20th Century America, through The Miraculous Season, a selection of her rousing poetry.

Thoughtfully edited and introduced by University of St Andrews Fellow Rosa Campbell, look forward to an inspiring evening of poetry readings from Rosa and her students.

In the archives of the Houghton Library at Harvard blazes the incandescent work of V.R. 'Bunny' Lang (1924-56), the American poet and playwright whose name has been all but erased from literary history.

The fiery nerve centre of the literary scene around mid-century Harvard and best friend of the iconic New York School poet Frank O'Hara, Lang has languished in the shadows of American poetry for too long. The Miraculous Season includes an editor's introduction by scholar and writer Rosa Campbell on Lang's fascinating and often hilariously eccentric life, devastatingly early death, and her rightful place in the canon of twentieth-century American poetry. Published in Lang's centenary year, this collection brings into print some of Lang's most startling, strange, and beautiful poetry.
