Cristin in conversation with B.A. Van Sise at Book People (CANCELLED)

Posted on

From the BookPeople website: “With this fascinating synthesis of word and image, internationally renowned photographer B.A. Van Sise offers a visually stimulating anthology that will enchant lovers of both poetry and photography. At times whimsical, surreal, challenging, enigmatic, joyful and sobering, these portraits— running adjacent to poems by each of their subjects—highlight some of the most influential poets of our time and celebrate creativity as only these poets in collaboration with Van Sise could convey. Children of Grass is also a timely homage to Walt Whitman—of whom Van Sise is a relative—and his masterpiece, “Leaves of Grass,” during this, the 200th anniversary of his birth. Children of Grass, will, like the work of its literary grandfather, stand as a lasting tribute to the vitality and creativity that flourishes in our country. Join him in conversation with local poet, and subject of one of the portraits in the book, Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz.” For more information, please click here.

HOW TO LOVE THE EMPTY AIR reviewed in BUST MAGAZINE

Posted on

“Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz’s stunning book of poetry, HOW TO LOVE THE EMPTY AIR, explores great loss at the height of great success and how we cope not only with the unexpected absence of a life, but also with the endured memories of death,” begins the rave review by writer Amber Tamblyn in the August 2018 issue of Bust Magazine. “Aptowicz writes about losing her mother very suddenly while her personal and writing lives are flourishing—an experience that left her at once devastated and illuminated, reeling from shock and relinquishing herself to the tenderness of new love. These heart-cracking poems humble and haunt the reader, reminding us that with every fall life hands us, a rise awaits us on the other side.” To read the full review, please click here.
