April lost its title as the cruelest month when the Academy of American Poets got together in 1996 to dedicate it to the wordsmiths among us. Poetry is the perfect medium to turn to in these lonely and unstable times (and any other time!), so scroll down for upcoming virtual poetry events (like a Natalie Diaz reading and the Cadence Video Poetry Festival) and local journals and subscription services to check out (like bimonthly parcels from Elliott Bay and Open Books).
EVENTS
Barbara Ras & Anne Marie Macari
Barbara Ras and Anne Marie Macari will log on from the East Coast to recite favorites from their respective books of celestial-themed poems, The Blues of Heaven and Heaven Beneath (the latter of which Ross Gay calls “a book of witness and gathering”).
(Thurs April 8)
