Kate Greenstreet and Sarah Mumolo: September 12, 2013

The Poetry Center presents Sarah Mumolo and Kate Greenstreet, reading from their work and talking with each other and their audience. Mumolo reads from her first book, Mortar (Omnidawn, 2013) and new work from an unpublished manuscript. Greenstreet works from a book at hand (by appearances a galley edition of Young Tambling, Ahsahta Press, 2013), restlessly improvising, drawing from passages throughout her presentation, presenting a continuous seemingly autobiographical narrative. Steve Dickison introduces the poets. 

Note: the quality of this digital video from Fall 2013 is compromised due to the loss of master-files from failure of a 'failsafe' set of mirrored hard-drives; fortunately, a compressed video file could be retrieved from DVD backup.

Kate Greenstreet (00:24:38)

Kate Greenstreet works from a copy of her book Young Tambling, paging restlessly through its pages while presenting a continuous monologue that feels improvisatory yet is tied by tone of voice and narrative thread to an unrolling story.

Conversation (00:27:55)

Kate Greenstreet and Sarah Mumolo converse with one another and answer questions from audience members. Topics include life reflection, motherhood, and patriarchy, among other issues.
