Facilitated by J. Barrett Wolf, Poet-in-Residence at the Bundy Museum

Located at WordPlace: The Southern Tier Literary Center
26 Cedar St., Binghamton, NY (at the Southwest corner of the Bundy Campus)

The American Gun is a poem in ten parts that delves into the modern phenomenon of mass shootings in the United States. It’s a narrative account of a young teacher in NYC wrestling with the reality of American gun culture. From the classroom to the subway, The American Gun is a meditation on tragedy and what it means to live in a country where domestic terrorism is a constant threat. The American Gun illuminates what the media cannot: the residuals of monumental loss in the face of an unyielding “democracy,” unable to protect the lives of its citizenry and its children.

Jessica and guest reader Liyang Dong, will read at WordPlace: Southern Tier Literary Center on Friday, August 9th at 7:00 pm. The address is 26 Cedar Street, Binghamton, NY 13905. For more information, please call The Bundy Museum of History and Art, 127-129 Main Street, Binghamton, NY 13905, (607)772-9179.
