These pieces from The Widows’ Handbook were read by their authors (except for Diana O’Hehir’s “Why Can’t I Dream About Him”, read by Sandra M. Gilbert) at Expressions Gallery, Berkeley CA, in April 2014, videographed by Ann Bassette and underwritten by Susie Bright. These are outdoor recordings; please forgive the noises of wind, traffic, etc.
