TUESDAYS WITH BOA

Craig Morgan Teicher will be in conversation with BOA Publisher and Executive Director Peter Conners.

 

Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize-winning poet (2018) and nationally recognized literary critic Craig Morgan Teicher’s Welcome to Sonnetville, New Jersey is a collection of poems about entering middle age, raising a young family, sustaining a marriage, and taking care of a severely disabled child. These sonnets and lyric poems narrate a family’s move to the suburbs and their coming to terms with the ghosts of the past and with hard-to-hold hopes for the future.

 

“Teicher writes affectingly about family relations and the particular burdens and beauties of raising a disabled child. This is poetry, in other words, about how life really feels.” —Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal

 

Craig Morgan Teicher will be in conversation with BOA Editions Publisher and Executive Director Peter Conners.
