John Yau and Andrew Joron: October 15, 2020

The Poetry Center presents poets John Yau and Andrew Joron, reading and in conversation. Joron reads from recent work, as does Yau, the latter from the manuscript of what would be his book Genghis Khan on Drums (Omnidawn Publishing, 2021). Following their readings, the poets respond to questions between themselves and from the audience. The writers are introduced by Carlos Quinteros III, emcee for the event. This reading was the first of two programs featuring Yau, appearing remotely from his home in New York City, and the final program sequence in The Poetry Center's In Common Writers Series

The Poetry Center's In Common Writers Series was supported across two years, Fall 2018 to Fall 2020, by grants from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund. This event, along with other scheduled Spring 2020 programs, was rescheduled to Fall 2020 and moved to an online format owing to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
