Madison poets Cherene Sherrard (pictured) and Heather Swan read from their works for this Arts + Literature Lab Watershed Reading Series event. Swan's A Kinship With Ash is rooted in the troubled landscapes that retain a poignant beauty. The poems in Sherrard's Grimoire, just as timely, often focus on the experience of Black motherhood and Black and African American women's traditions of food and child-rearing. Join the livestream on Facebook.

media release: Join poets Cherene Sherrard and Heather Swan for an evening filled with recipes and elegies, honeybees and lemon merigue pie, lamentations and exhaltations, as they read from their new books Grimoire and A Kinship of Ash. Listen to poems which document newly-inhabited histories and troubled landscapes, navigate the difficulties we face as a nation, but ultimately conjure something sweeter and brighter for all of us.

This will be live-streamed to the Facebook event page.
