Objects in This Mirror is a compilation of poems from fifty-seven former students who shared space and time in a rare undergraduate workshop that ran continuously for forty-six years at University of Tennessee, Chattanooga under the guidance of poet Richard (Rick) Jackson. These students went on to study at top MFA programs, and then to publish, edit, and teach. They include two Guggenheim Award winners, a MacArthur Fellow, a Whiting Award winner, an Academy of American Poets University Prize winner, a longlist for the National Book Award, a Theodore Geisel Award winner, a Wallace Stegner Fellow, and other honors.
