suburbia

Michael Collier reads primarily from The Folded Heart (1989), The Neighbor (1995), and The Ledge (2000). He also reads his translations of the work of Mexican poet José Emilio Pacheco.

Divya Victor reads poems from Curb (2021), her book focused on the experiences of South Asian immigrants in the United States and the violence routinely directed against them in public spaces. Those public spaces include suburban neighborhoods and the documents of the U.S. immigration system. Victor closes with a new poem that celebrates girlhood.
