Episode 72: Victoria Chang, My Mother--died unpeacefully...

from Poetry For All · host Joanne Diaz and Abram Van Engen

In this episode, we read one of Victoria Chang’s moving poems from her collection OBIT, and discuss how the poem explores the interplay between life, death, grieving, and memory as the poet tries to process her mother’s passing. Thanks to Copper Canyon Press for granting us permission to read this poem, which was originally published in OBIT. Victoria’s newest collection of poems, With My Back to the World,was inspired by the work of Agnes Martin and published earlier this year. To learn more about Victoria Chang, visit her website.
