This Thursday! Changeable Gods Book Launch

All are welcome! Please join me on Thursday, 4/21 @ 7 pm for the Book Launch of Changeable Gods, hosted by the Simmons University Department of Literature & Writing and Sidelines Magazine and sponsored by Slate Roof Press on Thursday. The book is dedicated to poet and dear friend Sarah Hannah, who we lost in 2007 and who appears in many of the poems. I’m thrilled that my students will be moderating the event. Alfred Nicol, author of Elegy for Everyone, will introduce the book, and there will be wine and hors d’oeurvres following the reading.

Where: Trustman Gallery, MCB (4th Floor), Simmons University

Newburyport Literary Festival

The Poetry of Richard Wollman and Kirun Kapur

Saturday, April 30 at 10:15 am (online)

How much of the world is gathered in the work of these two poets from Amesbury, just across the river! In their cadences we hear echoes of the Psalms and the Ramayana. They bring us news from Steubenville, Basra, Surat; from Ashkelon and the defiled Jewish cemetery in Carpentras. But they also bring our attention to what’s happening in the sky above the Merrimac River and in the waiting room of the hospital, for theirs are intensely personal poems. Richard Wollman’s newly published work is a love poem which reads like a whispered prayer to “the twin gods of want and need.” Kirun Kapur’s new book makes expressive use of silence and dares to utter in compassion what emerges from silence, words left unsaid for generations.
