Kerrin McCadden Reads New Work and Discusses Poetry

at the Jeudevine on Sunday, April 6, at 4 PM

As part of Hardwick's first Verse Village celebration during National Poetry Month, the Jeudevine is delighted to host poet Kerrin McCadden. McCadden, an award-winning Irish-American poet living in Vermont, will read from new work. She has been writing about joy and themes such as weirdness, time, and neanderthals. She will also read some of her Dear Matthew poems, letter poems to a poet friend.

Late Winter - Kerrin McCadden

In a handful of seasons,

water and cold and dirt

get under the paint and it falls

from our houses like old bark.

The river sends smaller

and smaller floes of ice

downstream, crocus making

their way up. Rocks are inside

my shoes by the time I’m home.

Five winters now I run my hands

under your shirts, start at the top

to split the buttons from their catches

and end the cold. My hands make a set

of wings under the placket.

Moth or hawk,

I don’t know which I am.
