Ode to Agni: Sven Birkerts (left) formally
assumed editorship of Agni, taking over for retiring magazine founder
Askold Melnyczuk (beside him) at the literary magazine’s 30th anniversary
celebration, held on October 30. Melnyczuk (GRS’78) started the
prestigious literary journal in 1972; it has been published at BU since
1987. Robert Pinsky, a CAS professor of English (right), former U.S. poet
laureate, and founder of the national Favorite Poem Project, joined 13
other distinguished poets at the celebration — including Nobel Laureate
Seamus Heaney — as they read from their works and paid tribute to
the magazine and to Melnyczuk. Photos by Phoebe Sexton (UNI’06)
