SUMMARY:Steven Cramer and Pamela Petro at Tidepool Bookshop
DESCRIPTION:Steven Cramer (Poetry\, MFA Writing Faculty) and Pamela Petro (Nonficton/Graphic Novel & Comics\, MFA Writing Faculty) will be at Tidepool Bookshop to read and discuss their respective works\, Departures from Rilke and The Long Field. \n\n\n\nSteven Cramer’s newest book of poems\, Departures from Rilke\, derives from his favorites among Rainer Maria Rilke’s two volumes of New Poems (1907/08). Cramer repurposes\, updates\, and sometimes upends the subject matter and style of the originals\, often leaving Rilke’s premises almost altogether. A practice dating back to Thomas Wyatt’s imports of Petrarch and including Robert Lowell’s Imitations (1961)\, Cramer’s approach makes for an original poetry of personal and contemporary resonance\, while remaining alert to Rilke’s chastening presence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn The Long Field\, Pamela Petro braids essential hiraeth stories of Wales with tales from her own life—as an American who found an ancient home in Wales\, as a gay woman\, as the survivor of a terrible AMTRAK train crash\, and as the daughter of a parent with dementia. Through the pull and tangle of these stories and her travels throughout Wales\, hiraeth takes on radical new meanings. There is traditional hiraeth of place and home\, but also queer hiraeth; and hiraeth triggered by technology\, immigration\, ecological crises\, and our new divisive politics. On this journey\, the notion begins to morph from a uniquely Welsh experience to a universal human condition\, from deep longing to the creative responses to loss that Petro sees as the genius of Welsh culture. It becomes a tool to understand ourselves in our time.
