About the Event
Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum is delighted to welcome author and Folio member Priscilla Long, in conversation with poet Bethany Reid, for a reading and celebration of the release of her new poetry collection Cartographies of Home. Books will be sold at the event by our partner bookstore, Elliott Bay Book Company.
Priscilla Long's nimble verse examines the difference between provenance and improvisation in how we grow up-or, to use the language of one Eastern Shore of Maryland family, how we "grow away." This portrait-in-poems' entrance into adulthood is graceful and sonically compelling: "I pull red cellophane, / open the pack, shake one out, / strike a match to flare and whiff of sulfur" (from the poem "Greyhound"). Cartographies of Home is a soulful, erudite, and ultimately playful look at life in flight. -Sandra Beasley, author of Made to Explode: Poems
