Dana Levin – Young Woman at a Window (July 2021)

How do we really learn about craft? What role do mentors play? How do our earliest experiences in childhood and youth propel us into craft understanding and integration? What role does our personal psychology play in this? These questions propel Levin’s lecture, which focuses on her primary mentor, Charles Simic and draws from two versions of William Carlos William’s poem, “Young Woman at a Window.”
