Join us for an evening of poetry at the intersection of landscape and language, our inner and outer lives, the precarity and wonder of our natural world, as Wisconsin-based poet Catherine Jagoe reads from her latest book, Praying to the God of Small Things (Kelsay Books, 2024). 

• FREE and open to the public – your RSVP helps with planning

• Light refreshments and amazing poetry served in equal measure

• A beautiful letterpress broadside of new work by Catherine will be available

Author Heather Swan says of this new work: “These exacting poems telescope in and out, braiding the tangible effects of climate change and keen observations of the leafhopper, the killdeer feigning a broken wing, the 'lemonbright' of finches, moss. Never steering away from the complicity of being human, [Jasgoe] meanwhile wields the very human power of language, deftly speaking for the wondrous more-than-human world, compelling her readers to 'stand still and listen, just listen / trying to name every song.'” 

We hope to see you for this special event.
