On October 8, join us for a discussion with Joan Wickersham and Adam Davies to celebrate the release of Wickersham’s "No Ship Sets Out To Be a Shipwreck," a poetic and philosophical meditation inspired by the Swedish warship Vasa, out now from Eastover Press! Launched on August 10, 1628, the Swedish warship Vasa sank only minutes into its maiden voyage, and lay forgotten underwater until it was found and raised more than 300 years later. In 2021, ASF Fellows Joan Wickersham and Adam Davies created Scandinavia House’s first-ever digital art and literary exhibition, "Conversations With a Shipwreck," which responded to the legendary ship through presentations of Wickersham’s poems and Davies’ photography, exploring themes of memory and oblivion, permanence and impermanence, mortality and time.
