Prageeta Sharma and Dodie Bellamy: October 1, 2020
The Poetry Center presents poet Prageeta Sharma, reading from her book Grief Sequence (Wave Books, 2019), appearing from Los Angeles. Sharma shares the program with Dodie Bellamy, in San Francisco, reading from an essay in manuscript from what would appear one year later as her book Bee Reaved (Semiotext(e)/Native Agents, 2021). Introductions are by emcee Norma Cole, with the readings followed by a candid conversation between the writers focused on loss, grieving, and writing in relation to the death of one's partner. This program was one of many programs organized as the In Common Writers Series.
The Poetry Center's In Common Writers Series was supported across two years, Fall 2018 to Fall 2020, by grants from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund. This event, along with other scheduled Spring 2020 programs, was rescheduled to Fall 2020 and moved to an online format owing to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
