I will read poetry from my two books as well as newer published and unpublished poems
I will be reading selections from a series of linked prose poems entitled "Station." Using techniques of collage and combination these poems explore problems of perception, measurement and form, while also questioning the relationship of newly created texts to language taken from archival sources.
Poems written in celebration of an America where Humphrey Bogart rises from the dead, Janis Joplin hitchhikes with an unnamed stranger across the Oklahoma badlands, and Babe Ruth always gets to call his shot.
Jenny Sadre-Orafai's poems have appeared or are forthcoming in the following publications: Boxcar Poetry Review, Slant, Caesura, Gargoyle, Ouroboros Review, H_NGM_N, can we have our ball back?, Frigg, Poetry Midwest, Literary Mama, and Dash Literary Journal.
