Claudia F. Saleeby Savage Poetry Reading

Claudia F. Saleeby Savage's poetry reading was originally scheduled on June 10, 2020, but the Pandemic intervened and the reading needed to be rescheduled. It will now be livestreamed on April 14, 2021 on the Ledding Library YouTube Channel.

Claudia F. Saleeby Savage's work appears in print, onstage, and in galleries and explores multidisciplinary collaboration and diaspora. She is part of the performance duo Thick in the Throat, Honey. Her latest collection of poetry is Bruising Continents (Spuyten Duyvil) with recent work in BOMB, Denver Quarterly, Columbia, Nimrod, Water-Stone Review, and Anomaly (the interview series “Witness the Hour: Arab American Poets Across the Diaspora"). She is a 2018-2021 Black Earth Institute Fellow, and has received recognition from Ucross, Jentel, the Atlantic Center for the Arts, RACC, Literary Arts, Mineral School, and Oregon State University. Her collaboration, reductions, about motherhood and ephemerality with visual artist Jacklyn Brickman, is forthcoming in Columbus and Detroit in 2022. Her poetics are influenced by rabid reading, Alice Coltrane, and long hikes in drippy forests. She teaches and lives with her husband and daughter in Portland, OR.
