YOU’VE GOT A TICKET TO RIDE: A READING WITH THREE POETS

In Two Open Doors in a Field, a profusion of sonnets rises from SOPHIE KLAHR’s bond with Nebraska and the experience of driving thousands of miles alone while listening to the radio, where unexpected landscapes make listening to the unexpected more acute. NICOLE TALLMAN’s Poems for the People and Fersace are both a refreshing and honest Michigan-meets-Miami handling of hard topics that adjust to the changing world around her, seeking solace in conversations with the dead and living (including herself), and in new life experiences. In The Last Train, MERVYN TAYLOR travels back through his childhood in Trinidad, through memories of family and especially of his father, conducting readers on a journey across the Caribbean in a story of survival.
