The Poetry Center presents novelist-writer Darius James, and Val Jeanty, Haitian electronica composer-percussionist, in performance at The Lab in San Francisco. James performs excerpts from the newly issued edition of his novel Negrophobia: An Urban Parable (New York Review of Books, 2019), and from newer works in manuscript, all accompanied by Jeanty, electronic percussion. This performance is the second of a three-evening program in The Poetry Center's In Common Writers Series, supported by a grant from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund.
