About Lividity (Les Figues Press):
Rosenfield’s poetry unsettles and disorients, but ultimately
examines. It is an analysis, a scientific picking apart of
communication and the limits of self expression.
space.
About Agony (Bookthug):
Agony is the first in a trilogy of long confessional poems. It
uses semi-rigorous mathematical and logical constraints to view the
author’s life and body, telescopically, as little bits of time and
space.
This is a general admission event in The Gallery at LPR.
