What We Are Reading Today: ‘Stem: Poems’ by Stella Wong

In “Stem,” Stella Wong intersperses lyric poems on a variety of subjects with dramatic monologues that imagine the perspectives of specific female composers, musicians, and visual artists, including Johanna Beyer, Mira Calix, Clara Rockmore, Maryanne Amacher, and Delia Derbyshire.

Whether writing about family, intimate relationships, language, or women’s experience, Wong creates a world alive with observation and provocation, capturing the essence and the problems of life with others.

“Renaissance: A New Museum for Princeton” reflects on the history of the Princeton University Art Museum as one of the oldest collecting institutions in North America and the role of its architecture in campus making. 

The 2025 opening of its new building affirms the museum’s long-standing commitment to considering works of art in the original as essential tools for understanding the wider world.
