| Drawing inspiration from foremothers as varied as Agnes Martin, Jane Jacobs, Maria Sibylla Merian, grandmothers, and the countless unnamed women who history has anonymized—four distinguished writers explore topics of gender, art, depression, and grief. Poet Victoria Chang’s new collection With My Back to the World engages the paintings and writings of Agnes Martin, the celebrated abstract artist, in ways that open up new modes of expression. How do we see and how are we seen? Daniela Naomi Molnar’s debut collection Chorus weaves voices of women scientists, poets, sociologists, artists, and activists whose indomitable lives offer lessons for our time. These poets will be joined in conversation by award-winning poet Amy Gerstler and author and literary curator Louise Steinman. |
