A conversation with the audience followed the readings, focusing on each writer’s work and on the history, present and future activities of The Poetry Project.
Goldberg reads “Rough Proof,” a recent work responding to the photography of Berenice Abbott.
White reads from her manuscript Dear Angel of Death, forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse.
