From the Ashes: Retrieving Awareness of Our Common Humanity

Join us for an evening at the intersection of poetry, activism, and psychoanalysis with Jorie Graham, Steven Donzinger, and Dr. Karim Dajani. Jorie’s poetry speaks to our rapidly shifting realities, Steven describes the singular power of community, and Karim demonstrates how culture informs our unconscious. Through these lenses, separately and together, we will explore what our return to a common humanity might look like while considering the challenges and possibilities of this moment.

Moderated by The Sigourney Award-2026 winner Dr. Paula Kliger, the evening includes a Q&A, reception, and book signing for Killing Spree: Poems by Jorie Graham.
