About this event
Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Peter Balakian reads excerpts from his latest book, New York Trilogy, at Glendale Central Library.
In an inventive, elliptical language, New York Trilogy explores one man's journey from the late 1960s to the twenty-first century, moving through experiences centered in New York City and the surrounding New Jersey Palisades. The protagonist's life is impacted by historical events including the Armenian Genocide, the bombing of Hiroshima, the Vietnam War, the AIDS epidemic, the attacks of September 11th, the US war in Iraq, and the climate crisis.
About the author: Peter Balakian is the author of nine books of poems, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Ozone Journal. His memoir Black Dog of Fate won the PEN/Albrand Award, and The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response was a New York Times bestseller. Balakian's work has been translated into many languages, and he teaches at Colgate University.
Books will be available for sale from Abril Bookstore at the event.
The series is sponsored by the City of Glendale Arts and Culture Commission, with funding from the City of Glendale Urban Art Fund.
