In this 2023 event hosted by the Barnard Creative Writing program, Desiree Bailey, author of What Noise Against the Cane (Yale University Press, 2021), and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, author most recently of A Treatise on Stars (New Directions, 2020), read from their work on the theme of nature and spirituality and join Ken Chen in a conversation about their respective poetic practices.
