Please visit waterworksmuseum.org or call 617. 277.0065 for event information. Cynthia Huntington is a poet, memoirist and a professor of English and Creative Writing at Dartmouth College. In 2004 she was named Poet Laureate of New Hampshire. She is the author of several collections of poetry, including Fire Muse: Poems from the Salt House (2016); Heavenly Bodies (2012), which was nominated for a National Book Award; Levis Prize-winner The Radiant (2003); We Have Gone to the Beach (1996), which won the Beatrice Hawley Award and the Jane Kenyon Award; and The Fish-Wife (1985); as well as the nonfiction prose volume The Salt House (1998). Sarah Audsley, a Korean American adoptee, is the author of Landlock X (Texas Review Press, 2023), a graduate of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, and a member of The Starlings Collective. Audsley lives and works in northern Vermont. Jennifer Funk is a native Californian trying to prove her mettle in New England. A graduate of Bennington College and of Warren Wilson’s MFA Program for Writers, she has been a scholarship recipient of the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference and The Frost Place. Her poems have appeared in Kenyon Review, Four Way Review, Cimarron Review, The Boiler, and elsewhere. Poet Ros Zimmermann plays with language as a body that is a reservoir of continual change and reallocation, with the idea that all bodies of matter are in motion. Lisa Harries Schumann is a translator from the German and a writer of prose exploring the historical past, myth-making, and the obscured root-tendrils between the two that spring up in our present. In their collaborative piece, Ros and Lisa use the Chestnut Hill Reservoir as inspiration, circling an imagined water from which roads splay, pipes drain, and thoughts emerge.
