Katherine Gibbel will read from her debut poetry collection, Little Sound, and Alyssa Moore will read from her debut poetry collection, Come Again. The University of Chicago Press offers this description of Little Sound: "The title for Katherine Gibbel’s debut collection plays with the etymology of the sonnet, or sonnetto in Italian: a little song or little sound. Exploring the possibility of words and the limits inherent in both language and form, Little Sound asks its reader, “Did you hear that?” and tunes in to what echoes when we listen." Likewise, the same press for Come Again describes Alyssa Moore's debut collection as: "A series of otherworldly scenarios in which reinvention becomes a form of resistance and a method to escape the snares of a modern existence to which we contribute but cannot control."
Katherine Gibbel edits and prints the monthly letterpress poetry series Send Me Press. She lives in Vermont. Little Sound is her first book.
Alyssa N. Moore is the author of the chapbook WET MEDIA. She is an intermedia poet and an editor for Ghost Proposal, a journal for poetry and work outside traditional notions of genre. She was the inaugural winner of Poetry magazine’s Editors Prize for Visual Poetry.
