Taije Silverman reads from her debut collection Houses are Fields (LSU Press) at the IUS Library, 3rd Floor Reading Area.Books will be available for purchase after the reading.
This collection of poems chronicles her family’s devotion and dissolution through the death of her mother. Ranging in style from measured narratives to fragmented lyrics that convey the ambiguity of loss, these poems both arc into the past and question the possibility of the future, exploring the ways in which memory at once sustains and fails love.
She is the receipient of the 2005-2007 Emory University Creative Writing Fellowship, as well as residencies from the MacDowell Colony and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Taije Silverman lives and teaches in Philadelphia.
