Poetry at the Library Series Presents: Sara London & DeWitt Henry

March 8, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Poetry at the Library Series Presents:

Sara London & DeWitt Henry
Reading and Talk about The Literary Self as Writer and Editor

Sara London reads from her second poetry collection, Upkeep (Four Way Books). A guidebook for coping with and negotiating the difficult terrain of life after great personal loss, its poems are elegies whose solemnity has been upended by humor and the nuanced interrogations of the daily rituals that heal us. Sara holds an MFA from Iowa Writers’ Workshop, teaches at Smith College, and is Poetry Editor for Woven Tale Press, an online literary and fine art magazine.

Founding editor of Ploughshares and award-winning writer Dewitt Henry reads from Sweet Marjoram: Notes and Essays (MadHat Press), 22 philosophical (and sometimes humorous) riffs on everything from handshakes to timethe latter recognized as a Notable Essay in Best American Essays 2018. The adventure is in how, rather than in what, to think; and Henry’s terms of choice are salient to our culture and times. Professor Emeritus at Emerson College, he is Prose Editor for Woven Tale Press.

A free event sponsored by The Friends of the Library.
