The Imprecision of Groups:
Wendy Lotterman and Danny Hayward
An evening of “technical urgency,” of “a point belabored.” “Dissolve it on your tongue.” “I want everyone to understand / these are some poems that can easily be used by anyone.”
Wendy Lotterman is a postdoctoral researcher at The University of Oslo and Associate Editor at Parapraxis [1], a psychoanalytic magazine. Poems appear in BOMB [2], Chicago Review [3], and the Poetry Foundation [4]. Intense Holiday [5], a chapbook, was published by After Hours LTD in 2016. A Reaction to Someone Coming In was published by Futurepoem (2023). Wendy’s latest poem See No Evil can be found here.
