About this episode
TV-UNAnn Fisher-Wirth's new book of poems is Carta Marina; Carolyn Forche says it's "at once a lyric triptych of searing beauty and an absorbing novella that turns upon a disclosed secret from a woman's life. The poet becomes a cartographer of the heart as she moves through a year's sojourn in Sweden, lighting candles in her own darkness." Ann Fisher-Wirth's two previous books of poems are Blue Window and Terraces. Among her honors are a Rita Dove Poetry Award and two Poetry Fellowships from the Mississippi Arts Commission. This was an Oakland poetry reading run by Poetry Flash. They can be found at: http://poetryflash.org . For more about the videographer visit: http://rhodespoetry.com .
