Two writers examine the power of place and displacement in their just published books. Barbara Roether -- poet, editor, and now novelist from San Francisco -- will present her debut novel, This Earth You'll Come Back To, which Foreword Reviews has declared "a stellar and distinctive achievement," and Robert Kelly "an astonishing narrative feat – a self-portrait through the eyes of the Other, the Mother." Stacy Szymaszek – poet and director of The Poetry Project – will read from Journal of Ugly Sites & Other Journals, which Anne Waldman has called “a brilliant tantric meditation on the endlessly fascinating urban charnel ground, “ and Gail Scott declares “a dazzling pulsing rendering of a time and place where poetry is made.”
