It was an unexpected surprise to find myself on the longlist for CV2’s 2018 Young Buck Poetry Prize (for real—a friend texted me about it and I was like huh??? I am??? Always a fun way to find out nice things!).

The new poem is called “Just Desserts.”

Congrats to all the other bucks on the list!

Come have some fun at a short writing activity with poet Domenica Martinello (me! hello!). From Keats’ “Ode on a Grecian Urn” to Morgan Parker’s poems about Beyoncé songs, explore poems about art and write a few of your own. Even if the art is familiar, the results of ekphrastic (“descriptive”) poetry are often surprising. FREE and open to all.
Advance registration not required.

Save the date! Look forward to seeing you (and check our the other awesome free events happening in partnership with AWE).
