Santa Fe’s first, now former, poet laureate Arthur Sze joins “Conversations Different” to discuss his latest books Into the Hush and The White Orchard, his life path to becoming a professional writer and an upcoming book event on April 24.  

Sze first became interested in poetry while writing in the back of a math notebook in his freshman calculus class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He shares with “Conversations Different” host Inez Russell Gomez that he discovered the craft by accident and was excited to pursue it despite family pressure to choose a more practical career.  

Sze would transfer and graduate from the University of California, Berkeley and later move to Santa Fe where he’s been a longtime resident and retired professor from the Institute of American Indian Arts.

Join him at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, 2025, for a reading and signing of his books at the Collected Works Bookstore in Santa Fe.
