As a musician it is always a joy to accompany his words\, and just as much of a pleasure to sit quitely with any of his collections and memories and join him in all the travels and places in the heart he takes us to. His poetry reflects his great love of the blues.” – David Amram\, composer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and author \n“Whether teaching his German students to listen to Whitman’s poetry until they hear his ‘sweet\, delicious\, rocking whisper\,’ or recording the ‘no-longer-alive radiance’ of the stars shining their blessing onto the home his parents built in Jasper\, Indiana\, Homecomings is the record of a poet\, teacher\, and critic meditating with deep love and profound insight into the writers\, the places\, and the questions that have shaped his work. Essential reading for anyone familiar with Krapf’s poetry\, it is also a book for those interested in how a poem works and how an artist chooses and maintains a life-long passion for craft and for the truth that art reveals.” – Susan Neville\, author\, The Town of Whispering Dolls: Stories \n\n\n\nNorbert Krapf\, Indiana poet laureate from 2008 to 2010\, was born in 1943 in Jasper\, Indiana\, a German-Catholic town in southern Indiana.

SUMMARY:Poetry Reading: Local Author Mary Sexson
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Mary Sexson on December 10th at 2pm for a reading of her new poetry book ‘Her Addiction: An Empty Place at the Table’!\n\n\nJoin local author Mary Sexson on December 10th at 2pm for a reading and signing of her new poetry book Her Addiction: An Empty Place at the Table. \nThis reading is appropriate for adults and teens age 13+. \nThe reading will be followed by a signing. All proceeds of purchases made through Indy Reads support our English literacy programs. \n\n\n\nHer Addiction: An Empty Place at the Table \nHer Addiction An Empty Place at the Table is a collection of poems that came to be written in response to the family problem of addiction. I feel that the poems are a chronicle of the fear\, shame\, and anger we went through as a family\, during the years of our daughter’s active drug use and addiction. I wrote these poems over the course of almost 10 years\, as a way to cope with the pain of it\, the absolute fear of it\, which I processed and filtered through the lenses of these words. My husband and I were also taking care of our daughter’s young son during this time\, because she was unable to care for him. I knew we were not alone\, that the dark secret of addiction was present within many families. I wanted this book to be some sort of acknowledgement that yes\, this happened to us. Maybe it happened to you. So we need to talk about it openly\, to tell the truth about it\, to let go of the secrets and the shame. Writing these poems helped to free me from those feelings\, and ultimately helped to heal me from within. I want people to have a healing process reading these poems\, even just to know that they’re not alone. And I want to acknowledge that the incredible road to recovery my daughter has journeyed on is also a part of that healing. \n\n\n\nMary Sexson is author of the newly released Her Addiction An Empty Place at the Table (Finishing Line Press). Her other books include the award-winning 103 in the Light\, Selected Poems 1996-2000 (Restoration Press)\, and she is co-author of Company of Women\, New and Selected Poems (Chatter House Press). She also co-authored the upcoming book\, Marriage Maps and Driven Destinies\, to be published by Chatter House Press in the Fall of 2023. Sexson’s poetry has appeared in Tipton Poetry Journal\, Flying Island\, New Verse News\, The Indianapolis Review\, Anti-Heroin Chic\, Last Stanza Poetry Journal\, and Of Rust and Glass\, among others. Mary’s poetry has been a part of several public poetry projects\, including Shared Spaces/Shared Voices\, two Arts Kaleidoscope projects that collaborated with Gallery 308 in Muncie\, Indiana\, and two Spirit and Place projects with the Indiana Writers Center. Sexson’s work is part of the Inverse Poetry Archives for Hoosier Poets. One of her poems is in the Polaris Trilogy\, part of the Lunar Codex Project heading for the moon in 2024. Find her at masexson.wordpress.com\, and at Poetry Sisters on FaceBook. \n\n\n\nThis Event is Pay-What-You-Can \nHere’s what your suggested donation can do for the Indy Reads community: \nFREE – This ticket is for attendees that would like to attend this event and are unable to purchase a ticket.
