Poetry fans are in for a treat, as Grace Schulman and Kimiko Hahn are the next readers in this summer’s Poetry Marathon, held every Sunday at 5 p.m. at the East Hampton Town Marine Museum on Bluff Road in Amagansett.

Ms. Schulman, distinguished professor of English at Baruch College and the poetry editor at The Nation for many years, is the author of a number of collections of poems, most recently “The Broken String,” from 2007, and “Without a Claim,” from 2013. A part-time resident of Springs, she has written a study of the work of Marianne Moore and edited a volume of her verse.

Ms. Hahn’s latest of her nine collections of poems is “Brain Fever,” from last year. She is a past winner of an American Book Award, teaches English in the M.F.A. program at Queens College, and lives on the North Fork.

The Poetry Marathon continues through Aug. 16, when Carole Stone and Virginia Walker will read from and discuss their work. A reception follows each reading.
