Grey Brown, Health Arts Network at Duke’s Literary Arts Coordinator, reads from her most recent poetry collection, What It Takes, featuring poems of birth, parenting and family.
"Grey Brown’s poems are remarkable for their formal poise, their subtlety, and their refusal to settle for easy answers to the complexities of married life and raising children (especially a child with Autism),” says Alan Shapiro, poet and professor of English and Creative Writing at UNC Chapel Hill.
Come hear Grey Brown, in her own words, “bring the solace and humanity of poetry into the medical world.” A discussion and book signing follows the reading. Visit www.handatduke.org for more information and full OLR listings.
