<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The [[O.B. Hardison Poetry Series]] presented ''Writing From the Edge: 40th Anniversary of Graywolf'' on October 20, 2014 at 7:30pm in the Folger's [[Elizabethan Theatre]]. [https://www.graywolfpress.org/ Graywolf Press] is an acclaimed independent publisher that champions writers at all stages of their careers. Three of their published poets read in honor of the press' 40th anniversary: Matthea Harvey, Claudia Rankine, and Vijay Seshadri, whose 3 Sections won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. Poet and author Stephanie Burt moderated. A powerful coming-together of three acclaimed writers, this reading offered a reminder that, as Seshadri articulates in “New Me,” “words are experience.”<br />

<br />
From "New Media"<br />
<br />
<br />
Why I wanted to escape experience is nobody’s business but my own,<br />
<br />
but I always believed I could if I could<br />
<br />
<br />
put experience into words.<br />
<br />
Now I know better.<br />
<br />
Now I know words are experience.<br />
