COFFEE WITH THE AUTHORS - Holly Wren Spaulding
2023-07-29 11:00 - 12:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Coffee With The Authors is a live, conversational interview with local and regional authors about the writing craft and process. This Glen Arbor Arts Center series continues July 29, 11 am with poet Holly Wren Spaulding in a conversation about keeping and banning words. Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads the discussion.
Spaulding, a Northern Michigan native now living in Southern Maine, published her third book of poems, Familiars, in 2020. It was a response to the 2015 deletion of words by the Oxford Junior Dictionary. The OJD’s deleted-words list included names of flora and fauna, in order to make room for newer words from the world of technology, such as “chatroom” and “bullet point.” Familiars is full of poems about “trees, flowers, magic, touch, memory, erasure, power, and [Spaulding’s] grief over the changing climate.” Spaulding’s work is a reflection of her long, close association with the natural world. In her July 29 conversation, Spaulding will talk about the power of words, choosing them with care, and the ways in which she works to keep language vital through her writing.
Coffee With The Authors is offered without charge. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
