SUMMARY:Poetry Reading: Alessandra Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Join Alessandra Lynch on October 26th from 2-4pm for a reading\, signing\, and discussion of their new work\, ‘Wish Ave.’\n\n\nJoin Alessandra Lynch at Indy Reads on October 26th from 2-4pm for a reading\, discussion\, and signing of her newest work\, Wish Ave. \nThis event is recommened for ages 13+. \n\n\n\nWish Ave \nWish Ave is a dream-like narrative that combines three distinctive voices as it simultaneously loses and gains connections to others\, plants\, places\, memories\, and beyond. Memories are reanimated\, reassessed\, and re-envisioned. Voices carry the history of a life\, the lives of those they’ve lived with\, known\, encountered\, interacted with. The two voices and the speaker’s voice carry the poems that cross time\, relationships\, boundaries between life and death. The voices create deep portraits of mentors\, family members\, and friends. Lone?liness\, tragedy\, art\, death\, music\, communion\, connection\, and consolation are all found here. There is palpable intensity\, almost like the book is vibrating with trepidation\, sorrow\, fear\, love\, vibrancy\, and uncertainty. The poems move water-like through visions and memory\, personal myth\, and prophecy. They don’t feel beholden to expectations but free and insistent upon existing in their own space\, on their own terms. There is a lot of risk in these poems\, and the reward is in the connections and space between them. \n“It is as though Wish Ave is the response to the bird in Eliot’s first quartet\, about just how much reality humans can bear. Alessandra Lynch has written beyond the moment\, and deeply of the moment\, a form of salvation we must all hope to earn.” \n—Bin Ramke\, author of Earth on Earth \n\n\n\nMeet the Author \nAlessandra Lynch‘s most recent collection of poetry\, Pretty Tripwire\, (semi-finalist for the Julie Suk Award) was published in 2021. Alessandra is also the auuthor of Sails the Wind Left Behind (winner of the Alice James New England/NewYork Award)\, It Was a Terrible Cloud at Twilight (winner of the Lena Miles Wever-Todd Award)\, and Daylily Called It a Dangerous Moment (winner of the Balcones Prize\, finalist for the LA Times Book Award and the UNT Rilke Prize\, listed as a NY Times top ten poetry books of 2017). Her work has appeared in the American Poetry Review\, The New England Review\, The Kenyon Review\, Ploughshares\, and other journals. \n\n\n\nThis event is Pay-What-You-Can.
