Online Reading: Carolyn Oliver with Hannah Larrabee

January 28 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Poets Carolyn Oliver, author of The Alcestis Machine, and Hannah Larrabee will read from their respective collections and discuss both creativity and craft.

These poets share a reverence for science and deep wonder for–and curiosity in–the world (both seen and unseen). Hannah says: “We’re hoping to geek out a bit about science and plan to talk through poems that explore the spellbinding world around us–here, on Earth, and in the cosmos.”

Carolyn adds: “It’s such luck to call Hannah my friend, and I look forward to talking about space and darkness and flowers (and perhaps a tree frog or two?) with this kind and wise and luminous poet.”

Carolyn Oliver is the author of The Alcestis Machine (Acre Books, 2024), Inside the Storm I Want to Touch the Tremble (University of Utah Press, 2022; selected for the Agha Shahid Ali Prize), and three chapbooks, including, most recently, Night Ocean (Seven Kitchens Press, 2023). Her poems appear or are forthcoming in TriQuarterly, Image, Copper Nickel, Poetry Daily, Consequence, and elsewhere. Born in Buffalo and raised in Ohio, she now lives in Massachusetts.

She’s had poems and reviews in Whale Road, EcoTheo, Adirondack Review, and Glass Poetry Journal, among others. Hannah lives in Salem, Massachusetts and is an editor at Nixes Mate Review.
