SUMMARY:Poetry Reading with Amy Dryansky and Hannah Fries
DESCRIPTION:Pictured: Amy Dryansky and Hannah Fries \nAmy Dryansky’s third book\, Ambergris is forthcoming in June 2026.  She has two prior collections; Grass Whistle (Salmon Poetry) which won the Massachusetts Book award\, and How I Got Lost So Close to Home (Alice James Books). Her poetry is included in several anthologies and individual poems appear in  Adroit\, Harvard Review\, New England Review\, Memorious\, MER\, Orion\, The Sun\, Tin House\, and other journals. \n”Amy Dryansky’s poems open the moment of experience for fresh possibilities of understanding. By this\, I mean the impact of her language\, her vision\, and her quest bring us to the point of moving beyond the poems. We are given more in this book than in most collections because the poet has not held anything back. We find ourselves on the other side of the book–that place any poet and her reader wishes to be.”\n —Ray Gonzalez \n\nAs a writer and editor\, Hannah Fries often works at the intersection of poetry\, science\, and the wonder and mystery expressed in both. Her new book\, A Forest Language\, a collection of lyrical essays\, will be released September 30th of this year from Storey Publishing. She is also the author of Being with Trees and the poetry collection Little Terrarium. She grew up in the woods of New Hampshire and now lives in Sandisfield with her family.\n\n \n“A Forest Language is an exquisite cabinet of arboreal wonders\, where each term becomes a story and each story a portal into the secret lives of trees\, written with the precision of a naturalist and the tenderness of a poet.”  —Diane Ackerman\, author of A Natural History of the Senses\n\n\nAmy and Hannah each have special and deep connections to Sandisfield. Amy is the daughter of a Sandisfield Arts Center’s founder Leonard Dryansky and spent many summers here growing up. Hannah is a longtime resident whose writing about “arboreal wonders” draws on her Sandisfield surroundings.
