Poets Alicia Jo Rabins, Allison Cobb, Ashley Toliver & Hajara Quinn

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

In lyrical, unflinching poems, Alicia Jo Rabins's second collection, Fruit Geode (Augury), investigates the passages of pregnancy, birth, and infancy through a constellation of ancient and modern experience. In Green-Wood (Nightboat), Allison Cobb wanders Brooklyn's famous 19th-century cemetery, where the burial ground becomes a portal through which she can explore her own trauma after September 11, and uncover the historical and national traumas leading up to that event. In Ashley Toliver’s Spectra (Coffee House), generous, penetrating, relentlessly sonic poems record the creative potential of the body and the boundaries of the self. Hajara Quinn's Coolth (Big Luck) is a debut collection that suspiciously grabs the rope swing and dives into the lake of un-unbelonging.

Writing the Script: An Exphrastic Writing Workshop

Carnation Contemporary 8371 N Interstate Ave, Portland, OR, United States

How do we engage with visual art? Is there a way of fostering dialogue between the viewer and the art work? Can we create a script for deepening our experience of aesthetic appreciation, and as artists & writers can we use this as an opportunity to deepen our own creative practices? Join artist Katherine Spinella and poet Hajara Quinn to talk about creative practice, respond to ekphrastic prompts in conversation with the exhibition, and create your own script— an Ekphrastic Questionnaire of your own that you can take with you.
