Abstract

Black Mountain Institute is proud to present the debut performance of the verse drama O, Heart by celebrated poet Claudia Keelan.

Claudia Keelan's books include Refinery, Utopic, and the forthcoming translations Truth of My Songs: The Poems of the Trobairitz. She is a professor of English and Creative Writing at UNLV and the editor of Interim magazine.
