SUMMARY:In Conversation: Fleda Brown & Anne-Marie Oomen
DESCRIPTION:Emotional openness. An invitation to think together. Fleda Brown and Anne-Marie Oomen aren’t just contemporaries; they’re friends and deep admirers of each other’s work.Fleda says that she can “trust Anne-Marie’s poems and prose to struggle admirably with the same issues I struggle with–how to say it\, how it was\, including the ambient sounds and textures. There is no posturing in her work.” And Anne-Marie says “Fleda’s poems invite me to think with her\, to watch the spirals of thought we all experience–but she finds a way to reveal how they just might be insights to daily life.”Both acclaimed poets and essayists\, Fleda and Anne-Marie are also both teachers\, Michganders\, and friends. They admire one another’s work because they see and listen deeply and make space for each other to explore the written word in various forms. There’s something magical about creatives who are so knowledgeable about each other’s work\, and that’s the kind of conversation this promises to be: intimate\, warm\, curious and generous. We hope you’ll join us. \n\n\n\n\n\n  Get Tickets\n  Get Tickets on Eventbrite\n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nAbout Fleda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFleda Brown’s Doctor of the World (forthcoming this March) won the Finishing Line Press Chapbook Contest for 2024.
