VIRTUAL EVENT. Free and open to the public | Registration required. Eastern time.
Join Harvard University’s Woodberry Poetry Room for their Vocarium Reading Series event with two sonically-charged poets of intense attunement, precision, and poignancy: Jos Charles (author of FEELD and A YEAR & OTHER POEMS) and Douglas Kearney (author of SHO and BUCK STUDIES). Register here!
Jos Charles
Jos Charles is the author of a Year & other poems and feeld, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and Los Angeles Times Book Prize and winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series, selected by Fady Joudah.
From the celebrated author of feeld comes a formally commanding third collection, dexterously recounting the survival of a period suffused with mourning.
This National Poetry Series winner defiantly makes space for bodies that have been historically denied their own vocabulary. These poems stake a claim on the language available to speak about trans experience.
