SUMMARY:Ember Days with Mary Gilliland
DESCRIPTION:Poetry lovers of Ithaca\, come join us for the launch of Mary Gilliland’s new poetry collection\, Ember Days. \nWoolf’s pen runs dry\, Tesla holes up\, Lincoln emerges in yet another bardo\, and the rest of us tunnel through Wednesday’s jammed boulevards\, Friday’s cash worthless\, Saturday’s prodigal feet. The poems of Ember Days feature soldiers under duress\, models transformed to artists\, descendants of forced immigrants\, survivors of hurricanes\, witnesses for peace—stepping up to our world’s disasters\, leveling with its possibilities\, interrogating faith\, justice\, militarism\, madness\, and the perception and affection of intimate relationships. \nMary Gilliland’s award-winning collections are The Devil’s Fools (2022)\, which won the Codhill Press Pauline Uchmanowicz Poetry Award\, and The Ruined Walled Castle Garden (2020)\, with poems anthologized most recently in Rumors Secrets & Lies: Poems on Pregnancy\, Abortion & Choice; Nuclear Impact: Broken Atoms in Our Hands; and Wild Gods: The Ecstatic in Contemporary Poetry and Prose. She is a recipient of the Stanley Kunitz Fellowship from the Fine Arts Work Center\, a Cornell University Council on the Arts Faculty Grant\, and the 2023 International Literary Seminars Kenya/Fence 1st Prize in Poetry. Look for “In the pool of the sea’s shoulder\,” forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press. Mary is a poet\, ecologist\, and occasional essayist in New York’s Finger Lakes Region.
