Concord Free Public Library Poetry Series presents Hannah Larrabee and Carolyn Oliver With Q & A, book signings, refreshments PLEASE REGISTER BELOW FOR A SEAT IN THE FORUM Two remarkable poets show how to live in traumatic times and beyond the known world. Hannah Larrabee's Wonder Tissue won the Airlie Press Poetry Prize. Her new chapbook, The Observable Universe, is out from Lily Press and was longlisted for a Massachusetts Book Award. Hannah's had work in Wild Roof, Flypaper Lit, River Heron Review, Gertrude Press, Maine Review, Molecule, Glass: A Journal of Poetry, and elsewhere. She wrote poetry for the NASA James Webb Space Telescope program, and she participated in an Arctic Circle Residency with artists and scientists in October 2022. Hannah received an MFA from the University of New Hampshire where she studied with Charles Simic. She’s currently an editor at Nixes Mate Review.  Carolyn Oliver reads from her second poetry collection, The Alcestis Machine (Acre Books, 2024). Inspired by the Greek myth of Alcestis, this poetry collection brings to life myriad voices who venture beyond the known world and exist between realities. In Greek mythology, Alcestis descends to the mysterious kingdom of death in her beloved’s place. In The Alcestis Machine, loss and queer desire echo across the multiverse. “In another life, I’m a . . .” sea witch or swineherd, vampire or troubadour, florist or fossil or museum guard, Oliver writes. These parallel personas inhabit space stations and medieval villages, excavate the Devonian seabed, and plumb a subterranean Anthropocene. In possible futures and imagined pasts, they might encounter “all wrong turns and broken signs” or carry “a suitcase full of stars.” Oliver’s poems are animated by lush, unsettling verse and forms both traditional and experimental. The Alcestis Machine demonstrates how very present absence can be and how desire knows no boundaries. In neighborhood subdivisions or the vast reaches of space, it’s impossible to know “whose time is slipping / again.” Anyone “could come loose / from gravity’s shine.” Carolyn Oliver is the author of The Alcestis Machine (Acre Books, 2024); Inside the Storm I Want to Touch the Tremble (University of Utah Press, 2022), selected by Matthew Olzmann for the Agha Shahid Ali Prize in Poetry; and three chapbooks, including, most recently, Night Ocean (Seven Kitchens Press, 2023), which was selected for the Rane Arroyo Series. Her awards include the Goldstein Prize from Michigan Quarterly Review, the E. E. Cummings Prize from the NEPC, the Writer’s Block Prize in Poetry, and the Frank O’Hara Prize from The Worcester Review, where she later served as editor-in-chief. Carolyn was a 2023-24 Artist in Residence at Mount Auburn Cemetery. Her poems appear or are forthcoming in Poetry Daily, TriQuarterly, Ecotone, CopperNickel, Image, Consequence, and elsewhere. Born in Buffalo and raised in Ohio, she now lives with her family in Massachusetts. Her website is carolynoliver.net.

Our middle school game of Dungeons and Dragons: Baldur's Fate! Monsters have infected the party as part of an invasion effort that could destroy the entire region. As the invasion and its hidden architects draw nearer, the party's will could be what determines the fate of the realms. Build your character, pick your gear, and lay waste to nasty critters with a roll of the dice! PLEASE NOTE! We've got a lot of players and cannot spare game time to make new characters. If you wish to drop in, please have a level 1 character ready to go, or, see Erick at the Teen desk (BEFORE game day) to build one! https://concordlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/teen-dungeons-and-dragons-baldurs-fate-12/
