SUMMARY:In Conversation: Leah Umansky & Melissa Fite Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Leah Umansky & Melissa Fite Johnson join The Notebooks Collective to read from their new books & discuss poetry\, the writing life\, & more.  \n\n\n\nAbout Of Tyrant \n\n\n\n“What does it mean to live in a country at war with itself–historically\, spiritually\, politically? Where does this sickness originate? In poems both personal and sweeping in scope\, Umansky opens the door to all the possible answers\, pointing outward but also in\, to the twists and turns of our collective psyche.” \n\n\n\nAbout Midlife Abecedarian\n\n\n\n“Midlife Abecedarian is a nostalgic collection that takes the reader on a journey through time. It provides a template for a life well-lived\, even if you’re only halfway through. Conjuring memories and a sense of satisfaction and comfort\, Midlife Abecedarian is a map to things remembered and things best left forgotten.” \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout\n\n\n\nLeah Umansky is the author of three collections of poetry\, most recently\, OF TYRANT (Word Works Books 2024.)
