DESCRIPTION:Picnic, lightning is how Vladimir Nabokov’s Humbert recounts his “very 
 photogenic” mother's demise. The comma, her last breath before the 
 lightning's revision. A writer invites the illuminating flash; our response 
 speaks to our ability to survive, interpret and even transcend.  From Emily 
 Dickinson’s nuanced “every clamor bright” to prose and poems about 
 trick clocks, transcendent rooms, lockdown and landscape, join us at The 
 Green Arcade as we explore the ways our new reality electrifies perception 
 and memory. Lightning, comma, picnic.\n\nCynthia Kreuz-Uhr has taught in
