How does the past shape our lives? What about family secrets? Poets Kate O’Neill and Dale Kushner will be exploring these issues in their reading on March 30th. Kushner will be reading from her new poetry collection, M, which received a Special Mention in the Pushcart Prize 2024. Her poems bear witness and give voice to the unsaid and unspoken in a culture. These are voices of women who never appear history books, the untold stories of biblical women and women caught in violence. Kate O’Neill completed an MFA at IAIA. Her widely anthologized work centers on Irish, family, culture, place, politics and myth. She holds dual US-Irish citizenship. Poet Tina Carlson will host a Q & A. Writers, readers, seekers, wonderers all welcome!
