The Word Barn 66 Newfields Road, Exeter, New Hampshire, Ralph Sneeden reading with novelist and short story writer Paul Yoon (Once the Shore, Snow Hunters)
The Courtney Steel Lecture at Spence School in October 19, 2022. My first visit to NYC since the pandemic lockdown. What a great reason to return! “Nabokov’s Octopus: Landscape, Memory and History” was a tour of curated poems from Surface Fugue that described the aesthetic challenges of writing about place while negotiating ghosts and the murky layers of past events, violence. (Toni Morrison was the first speaker in this annual series that memorializes and commemorates the legacy of a former student).
