Grace Schulman, author of Again, the Dawn: New and Selected Poems,1976-2022, and Elizabeth Birkelund, author of the new novel, A Northen Light in Provence, will read from their work and talk about their early influences, as well as the many things that attracted them to write respectively, in prose and in poetry. They will consider what it is about both poetry and prose that deepens our feelings, awakens out senses, allows us to see the world in a different light or in darkness.
