EVENT WEBSITE

Guggenheim Fellow Kate Daniels’ new book of poems In the Months of my Son’s Recovery describes a mother’s descent into Hell to save her son. What she finds is that she cannot save him – she can save only herself – and only by letting him go. This is the nightmare of America’s heroin epidemic, told succinctly, beautifully, every line exploring the depth of our national nightmare.

Supporting Kate, two wonderful Pittsburgh poets will be reading – Ellen McGrath Smith and Andy Feathers.
