Claire Wahmanholm is the author of three full-length collections, most recently 2023’s Meltwater. Poet Monica Youn describes her as “a visionary of the concrete, the stippled and slippery textures of the precarious present and the unthinkably imminent.” Wahmanholm’s poems are defined by a spirited sense of play alongside profound sadness for an ailing planet, chronicling what it means to be the parent of small children while simultaneously confronting climate grief head-on. Followed by conversation with Jen Jabaily-Blackburn. Books available for sale & signing follows. Free & open to the public. Livestream also available on the BDPC YouTube page.
