About this event

Celebrate The Ghost Forest: New and Selected Poems, a retrospective collection by Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize recipient, Kimiko Hahn. Hahn will read alongside three recent Poetry contributors who have new books: Sarah Ghazal Ali (Theophanies), Mónica de la Torre (Pause the Document), and Rosalie Moffett (Making a Living). Through formal experimentation and imaginative metaphors, these four women poets texture daily life with existential mystery.
