Emily Abendroth, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Jenn McCreary, Frank Sherlock: May 8, 2014

The Poetry Center presents four Philadelphia poets — Emily Abendroth, Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Jenn McCreary, and Frank Sherlock — each of whom were recent recipients of the Pew Foundation Fellowship. The poets each read from their work then join one another in conversation with the audience. Steve Dickison makes the introductions. Presented with support from the Pew Foundation, which contributed to the poets' travel for two presentations of their work. 

Note: the quality of this digital video from Spring 2014 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.
