Vijay Seshadri has been a member of the writing faculty at Sarah Lawrence College since 1998, teaching nonfiction writing to undergraduate and graduate students. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2014 for 3 Sections, which the Pulitzer committee described as "a compelling collection of poems that examine human consciousness, from birth to dementia, in a voice that is by turns witty and grave, compassionate and remorseless."
He is also the author of Wild Kingdom, The Long Meadow, and The Disappearances (each included in New and Selected Poems; Harper Collins India).
Seshadri has been an essayist and book reviewer at various literary publications, including the New Yorker (where he has also been an editor), the New York Times Book Review, the Threepenny Review, and the American Scholar.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
