WordsWest 40 - E. J. Koh and Juan Carlos Reyes

A magical WordsWest evening with E. J. Koh and Juan Carlos Reyes, musing on the vulnerabilities, fears, and aspirations of "Past and Future Selves." Juan Carlos read from his novel-in-progress that touched upon life, death, and hidden parental anxieties. E. J.'s poetry and letters in translation ranged across the terrain of jeong (love), han (sorrow), and indescribable beauty.  In the words of a regular WordsWest audience member, "My favorite WordsWest ever!"

Fawn Coussens, MSPT, kept us all grounded with her Favorite Poem: "Love After Love" by Derek Walcott.
