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.
