About the Event
Grief, Grace & Resilience: An Evening of Poetry
Tuesday, October 27, 7 p.m.
Join poets Dina Elenbogen and Rabbi Pamela Wax as they read from their newest collections and share a conversation on grief, resilience, and the sacred in everyday life.
Elenbogen's Shore (Glass Lyre Press) has been praised as "an eloquent book of testimony and mourning" (Edward Hirsch), bearing witness to both loss and the healing power of family, faith, and community.
Wax's Every Single Beast of My Heart (Sheila-Na-Gig, 2026), framed by the five Zen remembrances, meditates on aging, mortality, and impermanence — with, as poet Jennifer Franklin notes, "the beating heart of the book" found in poems mourning her brother's death by suicide.
A moving, generous evening for anyone who has grieved, and found their way back to beauty.
