Thursday 19th May 2016
Featuring readings by Rob Halpern, Peter Gizzi and Matvei Yankelevich, this event showcases the recent work of three of the most vital poets writing today, whose writing emerges from the complexities of translation and of lived experience. Join us for an evening of uncomfortable, beautiful poems that confront the necessity of reinventing the lyric in the context of social crisis, late capitalism, violence and militarization.
This evening of American poetry is organized by Birkbeck's Centre for Contemporary Poetics. For more information on the Centre, contact either of its co-directors, Professor Carol Watts and Dr Steve Willey.
Time: 7:30-9
