SUMMARY:Poetry Flash: Cohen + Hodges
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland hosts another installment of Poetry Flash on Sunday\, June 12th at 3pm. The featured guest poets will be Susan Cohen and Catherine Abbey Hodges. \nPoetry Flash readings are wheelchair accessible; ASL interpreters may be requested one week in advance from editor@poetryflash.org. Visit Poetryflash.org for more events and reviews! Poetry Flash has begun a Kickstarter campaign. Click here to learn more about helping them so they can better serve and support the literary communities of the West Coast and beyond. \nJoin us for the official book launch of Susan Cohen’s second full-length collection\, A Different Wakeful Animal\, winner of the 2015 Meadowhawk Prize from Red Dragonfly Press. Stephen Dunn says\, “Her descriptions constitute what I want to call intelligence—someone in the act of getting the world right\, making it ours as well as hers.” A former contributing writer for the Washington Post Magazine\, she was also a professor of Journalism at UC Berkeley. Her poems have been widely published in literary journals and anthologized in the Bloomsbury Anthology of Contemporary Jewish American Poetry. \nCatherine Abbey Hodges’s debut book of poems is Instead of Sadness\, winner of the 2015 Barry Spacks Poetry Prize from Gunpowder Press. Paulann Petersen says\, “Catherine Abbey Hodges offers us—inside each musical line\, within each vibrant trope—a luminous wisdom. Each poem gives us a world ‘replenished like a well // in blues and greens and wings.’” She is also author of the chapbook All the While\, and she is professor of English at Porterville College in central California. \nCopies of each book will be available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Sixteen Rivers Press: Rosa Lane + Nina Lindsay
DESCRIPTION:Rosa Lane is a native of coastal Maine\, with familial and ancestral roots in lobster fishing. She earned her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and is the author of the poetry chapbook Roots and Reckonings (Granite Press\, East\, 1980). Her work has won several awards and appeared in numerous journals\, including The Briar Cliff Review\, Crab Orchard Review\, New South\, and Ploughshares. After earning her second master’s and a PhD in sustainable architecture from UC Berkeley\, Lane works as an architect and divides her time between coastal Maine and the San Francisco Bay Area\, where she lives with her partner. \n“Rosa Lane’s poetry reminds us why\, at a certain time in our lives\, we’ve had enough of innocence. Here is a compendium of those so crucial\, chronology-defying self-revelations that we only know through our skin. Every line carries with it a resonant sense of what matters\, and why. Her voice is soft and sure\, mature and intimate\, the boldness of insight always subsumed by an extraordinary empathy for her demons. Each poem is a skiff sculling through sounds almost Hopkinsesque\, each measure of music anchored by the ground base we feel more than hear.” —Jeffrey Levine \nNina Lindsay’s first collection of poetry\, Today’s Special Dish\, was published by Sixteen Rivers Press in 2007. Her work has appeared in numerous journals and has been awarded the Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Prize. Lindsay also writes children’s literary criticism and reviews for Kirkus\, The Horn Book Magazine\, School Library Journal\, and other publications. She lives in Oakland\, California\, where she works for the Oakland Public Library. \n“Nina Lindsay’s Because is beautiful work. The poems pick through the things of the world\, her world\, exposing the unseen and intensifying the seen. They question what she calls ‘our multifrond uncertainties and errors’ and ‘hesitant happiness.’ She negotiates with great poise the push-pull of darkness and light\, presence and absence\, waking consciousness and the dream life. The familiar becomes\, in her telling\, unfamiliar and fraught. ‘February’s dust is rapturous\,’ she says. The poems\, too\, even in their melancholies\, are rapturous.” —W. S. Di Piero
