Join for a conversation with Honor Moore, faculty member and author of A Termination and Brigid Hughes, Editor at A Public Space. Robert Polito, distinguished faculty member, will moderate the evening. 

Honor Moore’s A Termination – a memoir of her pre-Roe abortion and how that act of resistance shaped and allowed who she became – will appear in August. Our Revolution, a Mother and Daughter at Midcentury (March, 2020) was published two days before lockdown. The Bishop’s Daughter (2008) was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a N.Y. Times editor’s choice, and The White Blackbird, a Life of the Painter Margarett Sargent by her Granddaughter (1996), a New York Times Notable Book. Books of poems are Red Shoes, Darling and Memoir, recently reissued as a “Contemporary Classic” by Carnegie Mellon Press, and she co-edited Women’s Liberation! Feminist Writings that Inspired a
Revolution and Still Can! for Library of America (2021). Her work has appeared in many journals including the New Yorker, the Paris Review and Poetry. She lives in New York City and teaches in the MFA
