Book Launch for Suheir Hammad’s “breaking poems”


Imagine this: Using “break” as a trigger for every poem, Hammad destructs, constructs, and reconstructs the English language for us to hear the sound of a breath, a woman's body, a land, a culture, falling apart, broken, and put back together again.
Thursday, October 30, 6-8pm
Bowery Poetry Club, 310 Bowery, New York City
Guests readers include: Paul Beatty, Patricia Smith, Roger Bonair-Agard, Patrick Rosal, Aracelis Girmay!
$20 (with a copy of breaking poems)
$10 w/out
