Living in Interesting Times: Poetry Meets History: A Reading & Conversation with Poets Joanne Fay Brown & Veronica Golos

Joanne Brown will read from her debut collection, Independence Day. Brown was born into a family of leftists during the scourge of the “McCarthy Era" blacklists; Many of the poems in Independence Day reflect Brown's experience during those historic times, and show a through-line from the McCarthy Era to today's political climate.
