A CENTRAL TRACK POETRY SERIES EVENT sponsored by SMU Project Poëtica & Deep Vellum

Duhem will be joined by readers Dean Adams, Pierre Minar, Sebastian Páramo, and Gabrielle Grace Hogan.
ABOUT THE BOOK: In dreamy, vivid verse that sways between talky confessionalism and formal elegance, Stephanie Yue Duhem confronts the large and small cataclysms that make up a life—from the tumult of immigration to the awkwardness of social foibles, the pandemic to the technological singularity, the anguish of lost love to the demands of art.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Stephanie Yue Duhem is an Austin-based poet, essayist, micro-diarist, and immigrant. She graduated from UT Austin’s New Writers Project MFA. Cataclysm Moves Me I Regret to Say is her debut poetry collection.
