Darcey Steinke and Susan Wheeler: Flash Count Diary -- Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life
Menopause is an overdue new frontier of our shared public conversation. Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library invite you to join author Darcy Steinke and poet and critic Susan Wheeler as they help shape that conversation.
In Flash Count Diary, Steinke writes frankly about aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about before. She explores the changing gender landscape that comes with reduced hormone levels, and lays bare the transformation of female desire and the realities of prejudice against older women. Weaving together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature, Steinke reveals that in the seventeenth century, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches; that the model for Duchamp’s famous Étant donnés was a post...

Menopause is an overdue new frontier of our shared public conversation. Labyrinth and the Princeton Public Library invite you to join author Darcy Steinke and poet and critic Susan Wheeler as they help shape that conversation.
In Flash Count Diary, Steinke writes frankly about aspects of menopause that have rarely been written about before. She explores the changing gender landscape that comes with reduced hormone levels, and lays bare the transformation of female desire and the realities of prejudice against older women. Weaving together her personal story with philosophy, science, art, and literature, Steinke reveals that in the seventeenth century, women who had hot flashes in front of others could be accused of being witches; that the model for Duchamp’s famous Étant donnés was a post-reproductive woman; and that killer whales -- one of the only other species on earth to undergo menopause -- live long post-reproductive lives.
Flash Count Diary is a deeply feminist book -- honest about the intimations of mortality that menopause brings while also arguing for the ascendancy, beauty, and power of the post-reproductive years.
Darcey Steinke is the author of the memoir Easter Everywhere and the novels Milk, Jesus Saves, Suicide Blonde, Up Through the Water, and Sister Golden Hair. She has taught at Columbia University, Barnard, the American University of Paris, and Princeton. Susan Wheeler is the author of a novel, Record Palace, and six books of poetry, Bag o Diamonds, Smokes, Source Codes, Ledger, Assorted Poems and Meme, which was shortlisted for a National Book Award. She is professor of creative writing at Princeton’s Lewis Center for the Arts

This interview was conducted by Noel Jones, writer for the student newspaper, The Voice....
Her life laid bare before a standing room only crowd, author Darcey Steinke read excerpts from her memoir Easter Everywhere on March 24 at St. Francis College that dealt with the existential, like her personal struggle to understand her religious beliefs and the physical, such as her fight to overcome stuttering. Steinkes appearance was part of the Walt Whitman Writers Series, dedicated to bringing top flight authors to the College to share their thoughts on the art of writing and the specifics of their work. (Watch the complete lecture at www.stfranciscollege.edu)
Dozens of the students had read the memoir beforehand because the religious themes and questions Steinke shares from her life dovetail perfectly with their current coursework. Students responded to the opportunity to share the intimate details of Steinkes life with pointed, thought provoking questions and observations.
The daughter of a Lutheran Minister, Steinke said that while her father was engaged in a more socially active 60s and 70s based theology; she has had an opposite reaction. I think the kingdom of god has to do with personal consciousness and everybody getting to a point where theyre so aware that wars and things like that would be less likely to happen, said Steinke. My own mission has been a lot about the more personal spiritual path and less about working the soup kitchens and things like that. And I feel guilty about that, I feel like I should be more socially active and its been hard for me.
Steinke also spoke frankly about her evolving spirituality on topics like her view on sin, her personal praying as opposed to more structured church attendance and how she came to see that her religious life and secular life were not distinct entities but all the same.
Steinke has written several novels including, Milk: A Novel, Suicide Blonde and Jesus Saves, and twice been named to the New York Times Most Notable Books of the Year list.
The Walt Whitman Writers Series began in November of 2008 with a reading by Jonathan Lethem from his award-winning novel, The Fortress of Solitude.
Walt Whitman, a long-time Brooklyn resident who often included the then-city of Brooklyn in his work, was a natural choice to be honored by naming the writer series for him.

Douglas A. Martin, award-winning author of Outline of My Lover and the anti true crime novel Wolf, takes to the virtual Greenlight stage to share the reissue of his novel, Branwell: A Novel of the Brontë Brother. Branwell Brontë—brother of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—has a childhood marked by tragedy and the weight of expectations. After the early deaths of his mother and a beloved older sister, he is kept away from school and tutored at home by his father, a curate, who rests all his ambitions for his children on his only son. Yet while his sisters go on to write Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Agnes Grey, Branwell wanders from job to job, growing increasingly dependent on alcohol and opium and failing to become a great poet or artist. Martin’s Branwell is a portrait of childhood dreams, thwarted desire, the confinements of gender—and an homage to the landscape and milieu that inspired some of the most revolutionary works of English literature. This new edition includes an introduction by Greenlight neighbor and acclaimed author Darcey Steinke, who also joins Martin in conversation for this virtual book talk.
Recorded via Zoom on July 20, 2020.
