Virtual Poetry at the Library Series: featuring Steven Cramer & Joyce Peseroff
Online Event
Steven Cramer (Poetry, MFA Writing Faculty) reads from his sixth collection, Listen (MadHat Press, 2020), lucid, smart portrayals of the “darker corners” of despair through scores of illuminating juxtapositions. Experimenting with many verse forms to give shape to the mind’s restless shifts and associations—sometimes absurdly funny, bracingly honest, and always sharp in thought and craft—the lyric testimony of Listen reaffirms the indispensable, if fragile, consolations of art. He is joined by Joyce Peseroff reading from her sixth collection, Petition (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2020).
December 17 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
