Hilary's daughter Ilana read "On Buying a Burial Plot One Sunny Day," which details how Hilary came to buy the burial plot she now occupies and which is just a few feet away from her friend and ours, poet Maxine Combs.
Karren and Judy read selections from Hilary's books Bad Names for Women and Counting.
Lia read "Mountains" from Bad Names for Women.
The Word Works keeps Hilary's name and work alive through our imprint series known as the Hilary Tham Capital Collection. In 1989, Hilary's book Bad Names for Women was the first book published in the Capital Collection. Later, she became editor-in-chief and revitalized the imprint. In 2013, Word Works is expanding the imprint by inviting poetry manuscripts from any volunteer volunteering for literary nonprofit. Please help us do this by pledging your donation through Kickstarter by July 14, 2013. We have already have pledges over 1/3 of the modest sum we are trying to raise. Stayed tuned for the announcement of who judge Jeanne Larsen has selected as the two winners of the 2013 Hilary Tham Capital Collection.
