About the Event
How does poetry register the transformation of time and space? Where does the poet begin and end? In this session, poets Andrew Brooks and Elena Gomez consider writing friendship and futurity, comradely love and joyous passion. Drawing from a process of reading and writing together over the past few months, this session will move between poetry reading and conversation. Together, they’ll consider writing and reading as collaborative experiments.
