This week in our Pitt #Poetry series spotlight:
"Desire Path"
Elegy, ode & fable woven together: thieves, widows, dreamers, gravediggers, inheritors. Music from Bi Kidude & Kanda Bongo Man threads through poems of eros, memory & endurance. ✨

This week's Pitt Poetry Series feature:
"The Decadent Movement"
Time runs backward in this book-length poem sequence that unspools from a year after childbirth, through birth itself, back to the nine months before—ending at "Minus Time," death's mirror-twin.
