A poetry reading by Yiskah Rosenfeld, reading from her two new collections, with LA poet Linda Ravenswood. Linda Ravenswood’s new book of poems is "A poem is a house." Lee Herrick says, “This book is a revelation. Ravenswood shows us that–a poem is a house–as well as a housefire, a history, a family, a stranger, a choir...This is a visionary urgency. I love this book.” (See Lee Rossi’s review at poetryflash.org.) Recent collections include "Cantadora–letters from California," "The Stan Poems," "Tlacuilx–Tongues in Quarantine," and "Xla Poets." A poet and a performance poet from Los Angeles, she is the founding editor of The Los Angeles Press and the co-founder of the Poet Laureate program in Glendale, California. Her honors include an Oxford Prize in Poetry and the Edwin Markham Prize in Poetry.Yiskah Rosenfeld’s first full-length book of poems is "Tasting Flight." Joy Ladin says, “Rooted in the origin myths of Genesis when the Divine ‘stepped out of itself onto the slick, dark lid of otherness,’ "Tasting Flight" unflinchingly questions, complicates, and celebrates what it means to be a woman and to be deeply, imperfectly, human.” A proud rabbinical school dropout, she is also the author of "Naked Beside Fish," a recently released ekphrastic chapbook. Among her honors are the Anna Davidson Rosenberg Prize and Reuben Rose Memorial Prize. Her work has been published in journals including "The Seattle Review" and "Rattle," and in anthologies including "Wild Gods: An Anthology of Ecstatic Poetry" and "Yentl’s Revenge: The Next Wave of Jewish Feminism." Born in Kansas, she now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and teaches workshops on feminism, spirituality, and creativity.
