BECAUSE I DID NOT DROWNPoetry and Essays by Pat Riviere-Seel
Join us as we celebrate our friend, Pat Riviere-Seel upon the release of her new book. This event will be a conversation and reading with Malaika King Albrecht.
Malaika and Pat, both well-known poets, will be in conversation about Pat's new book, Because I Did Not Drown, a hybrid collection of personal essays and poems. They'll be talking about the writing process, blending genres, and reading selections from the book. A book signing with books available for purchase from The Country Bookshop will follow.
Malaika is a former member of the Friends of Weymouth Board of Directors, and Pat currently serves on the Weymouth Center Board.
"Pat Riviere-Seel’s latest volume, Because I Did Not Drown, is a provocative, courageous, beautiful contemplation – powerful, elegant poems interspersed with powerful, elegant personal essays – on the fragility of life and the inextinguishable indomitability of the human heart and spirit to cling to it in face of often withering challenges. The yield is extraordinary: an inspired montage that takes on, with breathtaking candor and insight, the sublime daily triumph of “a woman made of water and fire” drawing breath."
—Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate (2012-14), author of Light at the Seam
