Today’s poetry and music selection for the CHMA Daily News:
Poem: “Fade to Light” by Cole Swensen
Cole Swensen has received many accolades for her academia, and has produced many works of poetry out of San Fransisco and Rhode Island where she now lives. Swensen is currently a professor at Brown University and is the founder and editor of La Press, a small press dedicated to the publication and translation of French contemporary poetry to English. She is known for her work in Ekphrastic poetry; the style of poetry describing the experience of painting or a description of the poem itself. Today’s poem of the day is not ekphrastic, but still representative of Cole Swensen’s work.
