“Auguries & Divinations”: A Reading and Q&A with Heather Treseler

Join the Newton Free Library for an evening with Heather Treseler, author of Auguries &amp; Divinations, winner of the 2025 Massachusetts Book Award in Poetry. Treseler will read from her award-winning collection and speak about the creative process behind her work. She will discuss the evolution of the book, the questions that shaped it, and the craft choices that guide her poetry, before opening the floor to an audience Q&amp;A. Auguries &amp; Divinations brings together poems written with an almost painterly attention to desire, longing, and grief. Treseler’s muscular diction and richly nuanced language convey a deep sense of emotional urgency, complicating what we think we know about the interior landscapes of women’s lives and relationships. Hinging on the carefully plain-spoken elegy at its center, Auguries &amp; Divinations’ intricately allusive, personal, and restrained poems sing with craft, beauty, and tenderness. This program is sponsored by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.massbook.org/mba-speakers-bureau">Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau</a>&nbsp;and is presented in collaboration with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.massbook.org/">Massachusetts Center for the Book</a>. This event is free and registration is required. Please <a href="https://newtonfreelibrary.libcal.com/event/15709482">register via the Newton Free Library website.</a> HEATHER TRESELER is a poet and essayist whose work has appeared in The American Scholar, Harvard Review, The Iowa Review, and other literary journals. Her collection Auguries &amp; Divinations won the 2025 Massachusetts Book Award in Poetry. She has received fellowships from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Treseler teaches at Worcester State University and lives in Massachusetts.
