Poetry Reading with Elise Paschen

Join us for a poetry reading with prize-winning poet, Elise Paschen.

In her riveting sixth poetry collection, Blood Wolf Moon, Elise Paschen explores the story lines of her Osage heritage. The core of the book grapples with a dark period of American history, “The Reign of Terror,” when outsiders murdered individual members of the Osage for their oil headrights. Paschen searches her cultural past and family history in poems about the land, ancestors, childhood, loss, nature, transformation, flight, and language.

(Paschen’s poem "Wi’-gi-e" was credited as inspiration for the title of the book Killers of the Flower Moon, which contained her poem from the collection, Bestiary.)
