An evening of poetry with Rosa Lane and Stephen Haven

October 17 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Evening of Poetry Bookends and Beginnings

Rosa Lane will read from her 4th poetry collection, Called Back, a title memorializing the last two words Emily Dickinson wrote. Her poems give voice to the LGBTQ+ dimension of one of America’s greatest poets, which draws from most recent research by Dickinson scholars. Pulitzer finalist Henri Cole had this to say about Called Back: “What marvelous, feral, eccentric, sweetly erotic poems [that]…illuminate–with electrifying language –the shadows of human love.” Stephen Haven will read from his latest work, The Flight from Meaning, which contains meditations on American History, on the nature of religion in our time, and on racism and its legacy in the post-Civil Rights era. T. R. Hummer in praise of Stephen’s work had this to say: “Stephen is a poet of incisive discipline deployed in the service of a passionate, humanistic ethos.”
