Spring 2025 Volunteer and Intern Potluck and Reading
“Tenants of a vision we rent out endlessly”: first published in a small print run in 1978, Bernadette Mayer’s The Golden Book of Words is once again in print in an edition from New Directions. Mayer’s poems in this early work, adored by her fans and out of print for decades, glisten with lyric brio and expansive, curious observation. We’re thrilled to celebrate the republication of a brilliant book by Mayer (1945–2022), a former Poetry Project Director and one of our all-time stars.
Readers include: Lee Ann Brown, Brenda Coultas, Helen Decker, Marcella Durand, Gia Gonzales, Philip Good, Shiv Kotecha, Sarah Steadman, Morgan Võ, Meagan Washington, Marie Warsh, and Don Yorty.
We hope you can join us at 7:30 for a reception before the event.
