‘Double Trouble’ — I’ll be reading with Susan Lilley

June 16, 2014

Mark your calendars for July 10! I’ll be reading with the enchanting Susan Lilley on Thursday evening, July 10, at the Orlando Public Library. Our reading, which we’re calling “Double Trouble,” will start at 6:30 sharp in the Albertson Room on the 3rd floor of the library, 101 E. Central Blvd.

I’ll read from my new book, Hold Still, as well as dip into the others: Beauty Lessons, Flame and Behind Every Door. Susan will share from her collections: Satellite Beach, Night Windows and When We Were Stardust.

We’ll sign books afterward and then intend to carouse downtown in an attempt to live up to our billing. We don’t think it will be difficult.

These finely made poems trace the narrative arc of illness—moving from the shock of diagnosis through treatment to the aftermath of survival, ‘everything alive,/ even hope.’ Keenly aware that there is ‘much to measure’ in this world, Godbey reminds us that one of poetry’s highest purposes is to revise trauma, and in her lines, ‘find what will save’ us." – Claudia Emerson

“Terry Godbey’s poems are carefully deployed, personally revealing, and shamelessly boy-crazy. In the best of them, she leads the reader through the doors of adolescence and into the house of poetry.” — Billy Collins
