SUMMARY:Sally Van Doren: A Reading & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This reading will be held in-person at High Low. \n\n\n\n\n\ndecember magazine\, University of Missouri–St. Louis MFA program\, LSU Press\, and Saint Louis Poetry Center present acclaimed poet Sally Van Doren\, author of Sibilance: Poems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT INFO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30pm.Program begins at 7:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe word “sibilance” refers to pronunciations of the letter “s\,” including the emission of a hissing or whistling sound. As the title of Sally Van Doren’s fourth collection of poetry\, the word alerts readers to the sounds of language in the poems that follow in abecedarian order. Filled with wordplay\, Van Doren’s poems vacillate between the extremes of joy and despair\, by turns witty and chagrined\, punning and reflective. The poems gathered in Sibilance aim to clarify their author’s ambivalence concerning living life and writing about it. Her unique investigations teem with distilled images encased in the language of irreverence and awe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA St. Louis native\, SALLY VAN DOREN is a prize-winning poet and artist who has taught at the 92nd Street Y and other public and private institutions. She is the author of four collections of poetry\, including Sex at Noon Taxes\, which won the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
