A Memorial for Denis Johnson

Tickets to this event are free, reservations required.

“I stand on the hill and listen, bone-white with desire. It was love that set me on the journey, love that called me home. But it’s the terror of being just one person — one chance, one set of days — that keeps me absolutely still tonight and makes me listen.” Friends and fellow artists pay tribute to the life and work of Denis Johnson, who died in May at the age of sixty-seven.

Denis Johnson’s celebrated works of fiction, poetry and nonfiction include Jesus’ Son; Tree of Smoke, for which he won the National Book Award; The Laughing Monsters; Train Dreams; Fiskadoro; Angels; The Name of the World; The Incognito Lounge; and The Stars at Noon. He was posthumously awarded the Library of Congress’s Prize for American Fiction in 2017. The Largesse of the Sea Maiden, a new collection of short stories, will be published in January 2018.
