Featured Speaker: Peter Balakian

Peter Balakian reads from his new book, New York Trilogy, at NAASR.

An American long poem in three sections by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Peter Balakian that moves between decades of tumultuous life in New York City and the Middle East. Comprised of three multisequence poems originally included in Peter Balakian's collections No Sign, Ozone Journal, and Ziggurat, the sections of New York Trilogy come together to form a poetry that embraces interior and aesthetic experiences, celebrates human intimacy, and bears witness to history.
