Description
You've got a favorite poem -- we know you do! This evening is dedicated to sharing one poem -- the one with the most significance for you, the one that blows you away every time.Bring a poem of your choice -- by someone else, not you, no longer than one page.
Be prepared to tell why you chose it, in two to three sentences.
Everyone wishing to share poems this evening will be given a number on arrival; numbers will be randomly drawn and we'll strive to have all who want to speak do so within a 90-minute span.
Guest host Pireeni Sundarlingam has held national fellowships both in cognitive science and in poetry. She is co-editor of Indivisible: An Anthology of Contemporary South Asian American Poetry, winner of both the 2011 N. California Book Award and the PEN Oakland 2011 National Book Award. Her own poetry has been published in journals such as Ploughshares and The Progressive, and in a variety of anthologies Sundaralingam has spoken on the intersections between poetry and the brain at MOMA (New York), the deYoung Fine Arts Museum, and the Exploratorium. She’s just returned from a fellowship in cross-disciplinary thinking in Berlin.
Who knows who'll be here?!
