Editor’s Note:
We have just been notified that the Garfield Center has announced a temporary cancellation of this week’s presentation by local Poet Lindsay Lusby. They intend to reschedule Lindsay’s presentation sometime in the next few weeks. Instead they will be holding their second GCTV MOVIE NIGHT featuring the noir classic Orson Welles drama “The Stranger.”
Chestertown, MD – On the Garfield Center’s next GCTV Facebook stream, Chestertown poet Lindsay Lusby will read from her recent poetry collection, “Catechesis: a postpastoral.” She has described her presentation as poems that combine Grimm’s fairy tales with the horror movies “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Alien” to construct a vision of the dangers and apocalyptic transformations inherent in girlhood.
Lindsay Lusby is the author of the poetry collection “Catechesis: a postpastoral” (The University of Utah Press, 2019), winner of the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize, judged by Kimiko Hahn. She is also the author of two chapbooks, “Blackbird Whitetail Redhand” (Porkbelly Press, 2018) and “Imago” (dancing girl press, 2014), and the winner of the 2015 Fairy Tale Review Poetry Contest. Her poems have appeared most recently in Gulf Coast, The Cincinnati Review, Passages North, The Account, and North Dakota Quarterly. Her visual poems have appeared in Dream Pop Press and Duende. She is a Senior Poetry Reader for Cherry Tree.
Lindsay Lusby’s reading will begin this coming Wednesday at 7:30 PM on the Garfield’s Facebook page at facebook.com/garfieldcenterforthearts.
