Tompkins Corners will welcome Kateri Kosek to the Poets’ Corner. She is the author of American Eclipse, winner of the Three Mile Harbor Press Poetry Prize, and a chapbook, Vernal (Split Rock Press). Her poetry and essays have appeared in Orion, Terrain, Catamaran, Creative Nonfiction, Briar Cliff Review, and Northern Woodlands Magazine. 

“Kosek’s poems succeed at combining beauty and waste, celebrating the world’s lushness and simultaneously knowing the part we play in its devastation. These poems mark the seasons of nature and out-of-season anomalies. In recording the small, recognizable moments, they act as a center of gravity to an off-kilter existence.” — Sarah Sousa, author of See the Wolf and Split the Crow.

Following Kateri’s reading will be an open mic. Registration will be available on-site on the day of the reading. All writers are welcome! Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door.
