Overture

YAEL GOLDSTEIN & JANE HIRSHFIELD
Overture and After
Thursday, April 5 at 7 PM

Yael Goldstein's debut novel, Overture, brings the reader into the world of classical music as well as the complex relationships between mothers and daughters. The novel also tackles the tensions that may develop between performers and composers. Goldstein is joined by poet Jane Hirshfield, winner of the Poetry Center Book Award, the California Book Award, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim and Rockefeller foundations. Hirshfield, whom the Washington Post says "comes up with poems that brilliantly portray even mundane experiences," will read from her acclaimed collection, After.
