FORGET WHY POETRY SERIES

The Forget Why Reading Series brings together poets who question, play with, and derange their poetic inheritance, at times defying categorization as "poetry." Forget Why was named in honor of our beloved friend, poet Doug Lang (1941-2022), and is run by Leslie Bumstead, Cathy Eisenhower, and Paul Killebrew.

Uncertainty is hell, certainty is hell. It’s what and when
And where. It’s who. Forget why. The wolf is at the door.

-Doug Lang, “Namaste Sonnet” from In the Works
