Poetry as Documentary: A Literary Salon with Erika MeitnerFriday, October 24, at 7:00 pm
This October, poet Kevin McFadden will interview poet Erika Meitner about the idea of poetry as documentary: what happens when you take on an assignment to report on an entire city—in verse? In 2010, Meitner went to Detroit on assignment forVQR to find out the answer. In the process, she discovered new poetic tactics for documenting her own personal struggles in an unflinching way.
