Join us for an evening of readings by Donna Stonecipher & Jeanne Heuving

Donna Stonecipher is the author of six books of poetry, most recently The Ruins of Nostalgia, which was named a best book of 2023 by NPR, and Transaction Histories, which was listed by The New York Times as one of the 10 best poetry books of 2018. She has also published one book of criticism, Prose Poetry and the City. Her poems have been translated into seven languages. She translates from German, and her translation of Austrian poet Friederike Mayröcker’s trilogy études, cahier, and fleurs, for which she received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, is being published by Seagull Books.

Poet and scholar, Jeanne Heuving has lived most of her life in Seattle, with forays into Palo Alto, New Haven and Cambridge. She is engaged by the tensions between prose and poetry and seeks to amplify these in her work.  Indigo Angel (Black Square Editions, 2023), made up of three books—Mood Indigo, Brilliant Corners and Air Time—takes its lead from different jazz modalities as these ray out into other arts, the natural world and human history. Heuving’s scholarly work includes Inciting Poetics: Thinking and Writing Poetry, co-edited with Tyrone Williams (Recencies Series, University of New Mexico Press, 2019) and The Transmutation of Love and Avant-Garde Poetics (Modern and Contemporary Poetry and Poetics Series, University of Alabama Press, 2016).
