Join Laura Moriarty (Which Walks) and Eric Sneathen (Don’t Leave Me This Way) at Tally Ho! Books in Oakland.
Which Walks is a unique and exciting collection “documenting (and interrogating) the poet’s daily walks. [It] investigates the twin practices of walking and art-making while aging. Intensely feminist, Moriarty’s book relates to the endlessly unfinished journeys of Nathaniel Mackey’s long poems, as well as to the dailiness of many writers from Charles Baudelaire to Robert Creeley. These poems are an extension of the author’s visual practice, which she is returning to after a fifty-year break.”
Also featured is author Eric Sneathen, whose collection Don’t Leave Me This Way “queers the sonnet by placing a different kind of impossible love at its center: the dead of the AIDS era, whose archives so infuse these lines that our shared history comes alive.”
