Maggie Nelson: 2008 - Key West Literary Seminar

Maggie Nelson reads two long poems, “The Mute Story of November” and “The Halo Over the Hospital,” from her book Something Bright, Then Holes (Soft Skull Press, 2007). In a brief introduction, Nelson gives credit for the title of her book to Annie Dillard, whose essay “Seeing” refers to Marius van Senden’s 1932 Space and Sight, about previously blind persons returned to sight.
