How to Build a Book: Join poet Angela Alaimo O’Donnell in conversation about the art of creating a themed book of poems. The author of two chapbooks and seven full-length collections, most recently Love in the Time of Coronavirus: A Pandemic Pilgrimage and Andalusian Hours: Poems from the Porch of Flannery O’Connor, O’Donnell will discuss thematic and narrative strategies and examine architectural elements that can give a book of poems shape, momentum, and formal integrity. O’Donnell will present examples from her own work, as well as the work of other poets, and discuss ideas for collections participants might be considering.
