Join us for a poetry reading with Heather Newman, as she celebrates her latest collection.

Like a "wild canary" in our social coal mine, whose song is "all barb and quip," Heather Newman mixes honesty, indignation, and irreverence with sly wit. The satiric poems in Unidentified Domestic Object teach us to question our complacency, challenge the traditional roles assigned us, and that clarity begins at home. Yet the writing is never strident or didactic - Newman is too pleasure-loving for that. This is an impressive collection that will leave you startled and refreshed." - Elaine Equi, author, Out of the Blank and The Intangibles

“With a playful, incisive voice, and an authority I'd follow anywhere, Newman sees "past the picket fence," and into the darker heart of things.” - James Crews

HEATHER NEWMAN's poems have appeared in Barrow Street 4x2, Hanging Loose, Wisconsin Review, Hole in Head Review, MoonPark Review, Right Hand Pointing, Matter, The Pi Review, Love's Executive Order, Voices from Here, II (Paulinskill Press) and more. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Heather has an MFA in Creative Writing from The New School.
