As part of its Faculty Spotlight series—which celebrates the publication and creation of significant new faculty work in any medium—the Sarah Lawrence Library is excited to recognize Writing faculty member Victoria Redel and the recent publication of her book of poetry, Paradise. In Paradise, Redel interrogates the idea of paradise within the historical context of borders, exile, and diaspora that brought us to the present global migration crisis. Drawing from a long family history of flight and refuge, the poems in Paradise interweave religion and myth, personal lore and nation-building, borders actual and imagined.
This event will be presented in the form of a Library Podcast episode recorded before a live audience. Coffee and light refreshments will be available.
All are welcome, no registration required.
