On Friday, April 22, we held our first-ever Ralph Angel Reading at Iconica Social Club in Northampton, Massachusetts, marking the release of the Talia Ryan-designed broadside of “Sestina for Klein Blue” by Emma Fuchs, winner of the 2022 Ralph Angel Poetry Prize. This also happened to be the first Foundlings event outside of the Buffalo area since our participation in the Frank Stanford Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas in September 2018.
Readers Emma Fuchs, Elle Longpre, and Lucy Wainger entranced the audience with new and old work and had books available for purchase—including Elle’s How to Keep You Alive and Lucy’s In Life There Are Many Things. It was a beautiful night and a great way to remember Ralph, whose heart and spirit flow through this prize and reading series.
Some “Sestina for Klein Blue” broadsides are still available. Order yours in our online bookstore.
