Next Week at the Poetry Center:
Next Word in Poetry:
Kazim Ali and Ana Božičević
February 24 at 8 p.m.
Kazim Ali is the author of two books of poetry: The Fortieth Day and The Far Mosque. He has also written two novels—Quinn’s Passage and The Disappearance of Seth—and an autobiographical work entitled Bright Felon: Autobiography and Cities. Ana Božičević was born in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1977. She emigrated to New York City in 1997. Her first book of poems is Stars of the Night Commute, a Lambda Literary Award finalist. Her fifth chapbook, Depth Hoar, will be published by Cinematheque Press in 2010. With Amy King, Ana co-curates The Stain of Poetry reading series in Brooklyn.
The Next Word in Poetry series features innovative writers who are perhaps in the early stages of their careers, and who bring something fresh and exciting to the form. Since 2003, the Poetry Center has featured group readings by innovative and emerging writers who define the concept of “The Next Word” and have gone on to enjoy significant acclaim. Our current Library Exhibition looks back at those poets and their works. This exhibition comes down next week, so stop in to see it! Our next exhibition, Literary Publishing in Tucson, coincides with the upcoming Lit Press Fest.
