Poetry Event: Rebecca Hazelton, Lisa Low, and Ryan Teitman
Featured Book
9781629223131
Ryan Teitman’s second book uses myths and meditations to create gemlike, multifaceted poems. Filled with doubles and dreams, Paperweight dives into how humans harness their ability to create—whether to make works of art or to simply find hope in the depths of grief. By exploring the boundaries of the prose poem, Teitman finds unexpected lenses through which to view the beauty of the natural world, the breadth of contemporary culture, and the narratives of everyday life.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.
