Acclaimed poet David Baker expands both his environment and his form in his eleventh collection. Whale Fall is about time, measured in the wingbeats of a hummingbird or the epochs of geological change, and about place, whether a backyard in Ohio or the slopes of a melting glacier. Amidst climate change and catastrophe, as amidst a blooming viburnum or a viral disease, these poems send their songs across empty spaces of a line, a page, or a continent, to see who is out there, moving in the depths of being.
Shelley Wong will be reading from her debut collection of poetry, As She Appears. She is a Kundiman Fellow and the author of the chapbook Rare Birds (Diode Editions, 2017)). Her poems have appeared in Crazyhorse, Gulf Coast, Massachusetts Review, and Sycamore Review, among others. She is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize and fellowships from MacDowell Colony, Kenyon Review Writers Workship, I-Park Foundation, and Palm Beach Poetry Festival.
Along with its bi-monthly poetry readings, The Hive Poetry Collective hosts weekly radio shows every Sunday night at 8 p.m. on KSQD FM 90.7. You can find more information at hivepoetry.org.
