SKULL explores themes of harm, trauma, pain, illness, and healing from brain injury sustained in the context of our collective, trying times.
“These are poems written while concussed,” Baskin said. “That’s the short tag line that I’ve found myself using to describe this assemblage of work dealing with trauma, brain injury, and healing in our collectively trying times. My spouse and in-house artist Jason Baskin visually captured how my brain felt for years though evidently I appeared (relatively) normal on the outside.”
Baskin is a Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominee, an Oregon Literary Arts Fellow, and an Oregon Poetry Association prize winner. She is the administrative coordinator for the departments of English and History, and for the Fir Acres Writing Workshop.
Baskin will be featured in the following events this month:
Friday, January 10:UpUp Books, 7 p.m. PT, with Elisa Carlson and Mari Matthias
