Brenda Coultas and Allison Cobb Reading / May 26, 2007
Event report
An audience of forty-five people attended the final NWS event of the 2006/07 academic year, an afternoon reading at the Soderberg “cube” by the poets Allison Cobb and Brenda Coultas.
For her twenty-minute set, Allison Cobb drew exclusively on materials from her new manuscript, a meditation on the history made manifest in The Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Coultas likewise focused on a recent long work treating other-worldly themes, “A Lonely Cemetery,” forthcoming from Coffee House Press this fall. After the reading, both poets took questions (and heard ghost stories) from the audience.
In the summer of 2005, Cobb led 91 Associate Professor Benjamin Friedlander through the Green-Wood Cemetary. His from that day can be viewed .
The “Queering the Language” issue of the journal Eoagh features an excerpt from Cobb’s Green-Wood project, audible .
