Event Name
Event Description
When the world is quiet and dark, what do you see? In the dark of the night, what feels true? Come explore the surreal, lyrical poetry of Gabrielle Bates as we celebrate her electric debut collection, Judas Goat (Tin House). Gabrielle Bates will share her personal and professional journey as a poet; read some of her poems, and discuss how "night logic" can be activated on the page to create strange, dark, and haunting progressions of imagery. We’ll use prompts to create poems together, engaging in associative thinking to animate images in increasingly surprising ways. Join us for a creatively charged evening to inspire your inner poet. Gabrielle Bates is the author of Judas Goat (Tin House), praised by the New York Times Book Review and named by the Chicago Review of Books as a must-read book of 2023. A Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship finalist, her poems have appeared in the New Yorker, the Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day, Ploughshares, American Poetry Review, the Best American Experimental Writing anthology, and elsewhere. Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Bates currently lives in Seattle, where she works for Open Books: A Poem Emporium, co-hosts the podcast The Poet Salon, and teaches through a variety of literary organizations, museums, and universities. You can find her online at www.gabriellebat.es, on Twitter (@GabrielleBates), and on Instagram (@gabrielle_bates_).
