Poetry reading and discussion: None of It Belongs to Me by Elizabeth Clark Wessel

Welcome to an evening of poetry with Elizabeth Clark Wessel, author of "None of It Belongs to Me", in conversation with Alina Gregorian.

When: 14 November, 18.00-19.00

Where: Rathkes gate 7b

Elizabeth Clark Wessel’s debut full-length collection gathers poems that track the cadences of daily thought as they happen. In this book, Clark Wessel unspools layers of mythology—of places, people, historical and ahistorical time—and finds their entanglements with everyday life, revealing marvelous influences encoded in the ordinary.

There will be a poetry reading and discussion about the collection, with time for Q&A afterward.

This event is free, but please register to reserve a spot!
