The Poetry Center presents Julia Drescher and C. J. Martin, reading and in conversation with each other and with their audience. Drescher reads three separate pieces of work: "Doubles Sonnet," parts from "Blatta" (after Clarice Lispector), and the entirety of "Almost Alive" (above/ground press, 2023). Martin reads his sequence Family Style Meal, a work written and printed for this occasion, incorporating a series he calls "complete poems." Both poets offer complimentary copies of their books to the audience, and generously entertain questions. Steve Dickison makes the introductions, at The Poetry Center.
