This literary event brought together the most recent work of Donna Masini, Anne Marie Macari, Michael Klein, and Jacqueline Waters—four writers who examine contemporary life with clarity and range.
From the surreal edges of everyday experience in Did You Find Everything You Were Looking For?, to the deeply personal and politically resonant elegies of Amerigun: Poems, to the urgent, devotional impulse found in Happiness Ruined Everything, to the sinister yet comical scenes from 21st-century America depicted in The Fry, this program offered an opportunity to question and dismantle operating systems while offering solace through language, humor and the sacredness of the ordinary.
