In recognition and celebration of a day-long communal experiment in spontaneous durational writing organized by poets Sara Jane Stoner and Ari Banias, Dura Mater’s public marathon reading will feature participants sharing excerpts of their new writing emerging from the day. Come and hear the converging, overlapping, divergent, wild resonances and textures that writing together can produce. A few additional reading slots will be available for members of the community who would like to join in sharing their own writing.

More about Dura Mater:

Dura Mater is a collective experiment in spontaneous, shared durational writing led by Sara Jane Stoner — a full day of writing, reading, and listening in relationship. With generous space and time and attentiveness to our individual and collective needs, each of us can find and explore the postures and paths within writing we know and do not yet know we need–in proximity to others, maybe friends, maybe strangers, but all people who love writing and who have devoted themselves to this day.

This event is made possible by Northampton Arts Council.
