KUBRICK POETRY at Broadway Cinematheque 2026

Kubrick Poetry • February • On The Verge

Book reading with Q & A. Organized by Kubrick Poetry Society

I find joy in arranging objects. These “symbolic or real pilgrimages” can take many forms, from the little things we do every day in our homes to bigger things we set out to achieve. Even ordinary objects like dishcloths, mirrors, and chairs can change and become more important to us as our thoughts and feelings change about them. This collection of my writings from the past six years shows you my vivid and imaginative visions of ordinary moments with objects. It also shows you the shared experiences of loss and loneliness that people go through during personal and global conflicts. These poems and prose are like my spiritual journeys. Through them, I collect and express a deeper, more expansive understanding of the complexities of life.

-Claire

象徵性的或真實的朝聖可以有很多種形式，從我們每天在家裡做的小事到我們想實現更大的目標時。即使是洗碗布、鏡子和椅子這樣的普通物品，對Claire來説也可以成爲重新創造的材料，以詩歌和散文的形式記錄下來，來表達自己的情感歷程。《On the Verge》是Claire最新的詩集。這本詩集跨越了六年時間，展示了Claire對日常物品運用的想像力。它也展示了個人和集體的失去和孤獨的共同體驗。這些詩歌和散文帶你踏上靈性之旅，通過詩歌，Claire表達了對生活的複雜性更深層次、更廣闊的理解。
