Upcoming Reading & Past ones: The Body Lives Its Undoing

 

On a sunny Saturday morning in Burien, WA, about 20 residents of Merrill Gardens, along with a half dozen more friends, gathered to hear me read poems and discuss the project upon which my recent book, The Body Lives Its Undoing, is based.

They were attentive listeners and asked great questions about the poems and about autoimmune disease in general. One question was about the difference between infections and autoimmune disease. Another person was curious if there were any “bright spots” that emerged from people living with pain. I said I heard often about people letting go of things that no longer seemed important and learning to live in, and celebrate each moment.

We also showcased some of the artwork and Anna Hooser, artist, book designer and BRI Tech Assistant, was also on hand to talk about how her artwork was a reflection of the interviews I conducted and which she videotaped.

I’ll be teaching the 2nd round of this class at Hugo House starting October 1st and running for 6 weeks. I’d love to see you there. Please register soon. Here’s a little preview of the course.

By focusing on the craft of writing, we can transform personal experience into art. Readings will include excerpts from: Poetry in Medicine, The Healing Art: A Doctor’s Black Bag of Poetry, Poetry As Survival, and Beauty Is a Verb, as well as the work of Alicia Ostriker, Lucia Perillo, Susan Sontag, Lucille Clifton, Anatole Broyard, and Kevin Young, among others.

We’ll also read some short prose pieces and excerpts from longer creative, non-fiction.
