Poet Margaret Hasse tonight on Zoom
by Thomas Trahey 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Margaret Hasse will read from *Shelter*, a book of poems and watercolors created and published while both she and visual artist Sharon DeMark were under quarantine due to Covid-19. The book of poems and artworks was created through Zoom exchanges. Hasse and DeMark would volley poems and watercolors. Hasse might start with a poem and DeMark would respond with an image. Edits and reworking would follow until both artists were content. Hasse will explore with the audience how this project both helped and fell short of her coming to grips with the isolation and loneliness of covid. The Zoom link is mcdl.pub/sl-zoom. Feel free to share the link freely. This is part of the Shifting Landscapes series brought about through a partnership between the Mason County District Library and the Abondia Center. As part of October's focus on community, tonight's program is the kickoff event focuses on the individual.
