Every poem gives shape to an emergence, a reentry into the world from a place of altered consciousness, which is never fixed, and isn’t new either, but made different each time through a knowledge that wants to know itself. To find language after suffering a stroke, to insist on the darkness of uncertainty with even darker humor: Cedar Sigo and Anselm Berrigan are infinite disciples of the poem. They write right next to the beating heart of language, giving us just enough distance to be able to hear it. Come hear them read from their newly released publications, Siren of Atlantis and Don’t Forget to Love Me.

This event will also be livestreamed for free on the Project’s YouTube channel.
