SKYLIT: Gail Newman, "BLOOD MEMORY" w/ Amy Uyematsu
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Wednesday May 19, 2021
Writing about the Holocaust can be difficult now, not that it was ever easy. It has become myth or something people use as a metaphor for something they object to; those who know, who went through it, are dying off. Those who deny what happened multiply. To make fresh powerful poems rooted in Shoah is amazing.--Marge Piercy
Gail Newman discusses her poetry collection Blood Memory with Amy Uyematsu.

SKYLIT: Kim Addonizio, "NOW WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE" w/ Aya Cash
Monday Mar 29, 2021
Monday Mar 29, 2021
Kim Addonizio’s sharp and irreverent eighth volume, Now We’re Getting Somewhere, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikännit—drinking at home, alone in your underwear, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet’s characteristic precision and passion, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache, climate change, dental work, Outlander, semiotics, and more.
Combatting existential gloom with a wicked, seductive energy, Addonizio investigates desire, loss, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats, echoes Dorothy Parker, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf.
Addonizio is in conversation with daughter/actor/writer Aya Cash, who also provides a reading of her essay "Skin."

Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
Fractured storytelling for a fractured world, Ancestral Demon of a Grieving Bride draws readers into a world that appears eerily familiar but unsettling as well. Fierce, visceral, sometimes funny, and wholly original, Sy Hoahwah's poems will linger in a reader's dreams long after she's closed the book.
