Local Owego resident and poet Diane Wiener visited the WEBO Morning Show on Monday. Her work was recently published and is now available locally at Gallery 41 on Lake Street in Owego. It is also available at the Syracuse University book store and online.
Here is Diane’s appearance on the WEBO Morning Show:
“In Diane Wiener’s original and fearless debut collection, we enter a dreamscape where Jewish mysticism, childhood games, pop culture and poetry’s canon are blended together and all fair game. At its heart is Golem—part advisor, part imaginary playmate, possible lover—a mythical figure who “believe[s] she can be anything” and is playful, wise, and always kind. Wiener welcomes us into a magical, mystifying world that is somehow also intimate and familiar. “Tie the bows,” she generously tells us, “hem your brushed brown trousers. Lean in, I’m here.” —Ona Gritz, author of the poetry collection, Geode and the memoir, On the Whole: A Story of Mothering and Disability” –Nine Mile Book Series
