Everyone I've Danced With is Dead: A Poetry Event with Mamie Morgan
Details
Poet, Mamie Morgan, reads from her newly released work, Everyone I've Danced with is Dead, Thursday April 11th at 7pm.
This is a casual, low-key event. We think you are great just as you are! Everyone needs more poetry in their lives. Swing in. Fill up.
Here's what folks are saying about Mamie Morgan's collection of poems:
Reading these poems is like sitting down with a friend for a conversation — the kind of friend you trust to tell all of the truth, but with mercy. These whip-smart poems don’t flinch, even at the hardest truths about what it means to be human — to love and to lose, to damage and be damaged, to live through moments ‘where the quake originates,’ that make you cling to ‘every word that had ever made me want to stay alive.’ These poems have an electric power, one strong enough to change lives. Morgan faces devastation with such an open grace and generosity that a reader can’t help but feel here’s one truth more real than any other: that even in the moments that shake us to the core, there is always hope.
