The Voice of Empathy: Kristin Berger and Carl Adamshick
February 3, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeThe Voice of Empathy is a poetry series that showcases writers whose work investigates the human capacity for compassion and generosity and invites the reader/listener to care deeply for others and the world. This description is for the poets’ reference only and does not presume to impose any constraints on the work selected for presentation.
Due to an unexpectedly generous interest for the first event in the series, please come early to reserve your seats. There is room only for 37-39 poetry lovers. The venue has no choice but to turn away any excess crowd. Apologies in advance if that ends up being the case.
Carl Adamshick is the author of Curses and Wishes, Saint Friend, and Receipt. He is an editor at Tavern Books, a non-profit poetry press dedicated to publishing books in translation. His fourth collection of poetry, Birches, is due to be published in February.
Kristin Berger is the author of two poetry collections Echolocation (Cirque Press, 2018), How Light Reaches Us (Aldrich Press, 2016), and two chapbooks, For the Willing (Finishing Line Press, 2008), and Refugia, forthcoming from Persian Pony Press. Her long prose-poem, Changing Woman & Changing Man: A High Desert Myth, was a finalist for the 2016 Newfound Prose Prize, and her poetry has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Kristin lives in Portland, Oregon, where she hosts a summer poetry reading series at her neighborhood farmers market. More at www.kristinberger.me.
