Launch for The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays & Comedies

at Giorno Poetry Systems in New York, Dec. 5, 2024

My thanks to Alan Thomas and Randy Petelos at the University of Chicago Press. This is my tenth book with Chicago, going back 25 years. Thanks also to Anthony Huberman and Eli Coplan (sound engineer) of GPS for hosting this event. 

I created the  script, which is derived entirely from The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies, except for a few supplementary credenzas by Felix. More information about the book here.
