SUMMARY:A Feast of Losses by Judith Ferrara Book Release & Signing
DESCRIPTION:A Feast of Losses documents and celebrates the life of Yetta Dine\, the poet Stanley Kunitz’s mother\, a fierce\, loving\, magnificent woman truly worthy of our attention. Kunitz often remarked that a poet makes a myth of his life as a way of traveling the labyrinth of memory and experience to transformation. Close readers of Kunitz’s luminous poems will\, in reading this book\, gain a sense of the layers of life from which his myths emerged.\n—Marie Howe\, author of four books of poetry\, the most recent\, Magdalene \nJoin us for this free event. Signed books will be available for purchase. \nPerhaps the most enduring poet of his generation\, Stanley Kunitz once observed that “poetry is for the sake of the life.” Based on his mother’s recently recovered memoir\, diary and letters\, Judith Ferrara’s A Feast of Losses offers fresh and intimate insights into both her own and her son’s lives. \nYetta Dine emigrated from Lithuania to New York’s Lower East Side in 1890 and learned the garment trade before moving to Worcester\, Massachusetts\, in 1893 to marry Solomon Kunitz. Readers will have an unprecedented opportunity to hear Yetta’s own voice\, understand her story and explore the influence she had on Stanley Kunitz as a poet and a person. \nWho was this woman\, immortalized as the mother in “The Portrait” who “slapped me hard” when Stanley found his dead father’s portrait in the attic? Yetta’s original papers and the striking details of her life have emerged against all odds—a story within a story. \n  \n \n  \nJudith Ferrara \, Ph.D.\, holds degrees from the University of New Hampshire\, Fitchburg State University and the State University College at Buffalo. Her publications in the field of education include Peer Mediation: Finding a Way to Care (Stenhouse Publishers). Her poems\, essays and artwork have appeared in three collections and in journals. She received a Worcester Cultural Commission/Massachusetts Cultural Council Creative Arts Fellowship in 2003. In 2018\, she received the Stanley Kunitz Medal from the Worcester County Poetry Association.  Ferrara lives in Worcester\, Massachusetts\, with her husband John Gaumond.
