Description
In The Latest: 20 Ghazals for 2020, Denise Duhamel and Julie Marie Wade exchange verses in dialogue throughout a fraught year. The pandemic, the U.S. election, gun violence, and the loss of feminist icons Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Helen Reddy forefront a series of collaborations in which the two poets face isolation together. These couplets mirror their two voices, just as the recursions of this ancient poetic form mirror our recent, lonely, and global routine. The Latest is a project of resilience, writing through "the dark days" with humor and hope.
