In Conversation with Heidi Seaborn

Join us for a free In Conversation event with poet Heidi Seaborn to discuss her latest poety collection, tic tic tic! She will be in conversation with the South Carolina Governer’s School of Arts and Humanities’ Emily Cinquemani. ABOUT THE BOOK: tic tic tic begins in the ashes of 2019—a roaring ‘20s New Year’s Eve party gives way to a pandemic, an insurrection, war after war, the possibility of tyranny and the mounting climate crisis. Along the way, the steady change of seasons and tick of time elevate the tension between the urgency of the moment and history’s expanse, between an individual’s response and the inevitable legacy of collective generations. tic tic tic is a clear-eyed lyric take on the chaos of our times, and an affirmation of the human spirit. A life is lived, a new generation created, faith smolders, love and hope persist ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Heidi Seaborn is the author of three award-winning books of poetry: tic tic tic, An Insomniac’s Slumber Party with Marilyn Monroe, Give a Girl Chaos, and three chapbooks. She’s won numerous awards including The Missouri Review Editors Prize in Poetry. Heidi holds degrees from Stanford and NYU and is Executive Editor of The Adroit Journal.
