DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Center's In Common Writers Series opens 2020 with a program 
 featuring two remarkable poet/writers, each with significant work in 
 disability poetics and activism. This event, with Jennifer Bartlett and 
 Denise Leto, is supported by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund.\n\nJennifer 
 Bartlett was born in the San Francisco Bay Area. Of her work, Nathaniel 
 Tarn writes, “Jennifer Bartlett has created not a new form of surrealism, 
 nor of magical realism, but a kind of supernal realism which leaves room 
 for dreams, visions, and angels as well as the panoplies of both country 
 and urban life.” She lives in Brooklyn, New York, and she works part-time 
 in the Office of the President of New York City Transit. Here she works 
 with a team on bringing accessibility to the New York City transit system. 
 In addition to being a poet and writer, she is an activist for people with 
 disabilities throughout New York.\n\nDenise Leto is a multidisciplinary 
 poet, writer, editor, and dance dramaturge. She wrote the book of poetry 
 for the collaborative dance performance Your Body is Not a Shark, exploring 
 feminist embodiment, voice, and disability poetics.  Denise is a member of 
 Olimpias, an international disability performance collective. Her current 
 project is an ecopoetic exploration of the San Francisco Bay. New poems are 
 forthcoming in Quarterly West and Rogue Agent.\n
