SUMMARY:Glendal Wallace: The Words We Wear
DESCRIPTION:This reading will be held in-person at St. Louis County Library – Clark Family Branch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us at the St. Louis County Library – Clark Family Branch for an evening of inspiration with local author and poet Glendal Wallace\, for the launch of her book The Words We Wear. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefreshments provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE WORDS WE WEAR \n\n\n\nWallace hits all the high notes well and avoids the dangers\, and that is high praise. “Words Take Their Own Journey” gives a clear vision of how the musicality and drive of oral tradition can land\, delicately and with gentle authority. The poem speaks out to a wide audience but feels personal. “Weep America II” is such a fine poem\, exploring in one compressed space the pain\, self-deceit\, ignorance that we all suffer from being “stuck” where we are now. It’s the poem all of us need desperately\, right now. \n\n\n\n– Rebecca Ellis\, Distinguished Poet and Master Naturalist\, University of Illinois \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POET\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGLENDAL WALLACE is the author of three poetry collections\, Jewels of Fillmore\, Unconnected Thoughts\, and  The Words We Wear. An educator for over thirty years\, she has published essays\, short stories and in anthologies that inspire\, encourage and educate writers at all levels. She lives with her family in St. Louis where she continues to nurture her creative spirit from enjoying blissful walks and scenic cruise vacations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriends of Glendal Wallace

SUMMARY:MoBot & SLPC Present: Kristin Emanuel & Amie Whittemore
DESCRIPTION:a collaboration with Missouri Botanical Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Missouri Botanical Garden and Saint Louis Poetry Center in celebrating the launch of the debut poetry collection by Kristin Emanuel\, who will be reading with Amie Whittemore. Copies of Birdwatching in the 4th Dimension and Nest of Matches will be available for purchase from the poets. All proceeds from Kristin’s book sales will benefit STAR – St. Louis Avian Rescue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter the poetry reading\, guests are invited to tour Missouri Botanical Garden’s Peter H. Raven Library & Archives at the Bayer Center research institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP is encouraged but not required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOKS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBirdwatching in the 4th Dimension  \n\n\n\nWith percussive alacrity Birdwatching in the 4th Dimension attunes us to the precarity and blinding wonder of life in ages past and present. Joy and mourning mingle in these startling poems\, mapped onto the fossil record and the humdrum calamities of the Anthropocene. In Emanuel’s poems\, the beat of a heard it enough to conjure crustaceans and crocuses\, megatheriea and mantises; it is enough to make them dance in the cosmic matrix of evolution\, death\, and rebirth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNest of Matches  \n\n\n\nNest of Matches is a lavish declaration of the beauty of the natural world\, queer identity\, and of the imagination set free. Whittemore’s third collection explores the complexities of love—romantic\, familial\, and love for place—and wonders at cycles of life\, finding that: “Every habit / even love—strangest / of them all—offers exhaustion / and renewal.” Moving seamlessly from meditations on the moon’s phases to explorations of dream spaces to searches for meaning through patterns of love and loss\, Whittemore’s work embodies the mysteries of dichotomies—grief and joy\, consciousness and unconsciousness\, habit and spontaneity—and how they coexist to create our identities. Throughout the collection\, Whittemore reveals how interior nature manifests into exterior habits and how physical landscapes shape the psyche. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT STAR-ST. LOUIS AVIAN RESCUE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSTAR’s mission is to improve and enrich the lives of parrots through rescue\, rehabilitative fostering\, adoption and education. STAR is a foster-based organization. Birds who enter their adoption program are placed in foster homes\, with the eventual goal of placement in forever homes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit: https://staravian.org/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE POETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKRISTIN EMANUEL holds an MFA in poetry from the University of Kansas where she studied eco-fabulism and the comics poetry movement. Her latest poems\, comics\, and essays have appeared in The Rumpus\, Ecotone\, and Blackbird\, with new work forthcoming in Poetry Northwest and Sugar House Review. You can find a list of her selected publications at: https://kristinemanuel.com/. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAMIE WHITTEMORE (she/her) is the author of four poetry collections\, most recently Nest of Matches (Autumn House Press).
