Join PSNH on Tuesday, November 1, 2022 for a discussion of DocuPoetry: Mining the Historical, Discovering the Personal with our feature, Jennifer Martelli. She will be discussing her use of non-literary texts—news reports, biographies, oral histories, legal documents—to create a personal and poetic narrative. Using her latest collections, My Tarantella and The Queen of Queens, we’ll look at how these sources, paired with a creative obsession, can create new language and new directions in a poetry collection.

To participate: for members, the Zoom link will be provided in an email communication prior to the event; for all others, please email events@psnh.org if you would like to attend.
