“These poems reveal to us something new about naming, a language that’s full of the body’s blood, full of dust and bones and fire, full of seeds and wind. This is a deeply resonant voice, filled with the pain of the immigrant experience and filled with its many rich gifts.”— Dorianne Laux, author of Only As The Day Is Long: New and Selected Poems Mahtem Shiferraw will be in conversation with author and poet Peter Conners, Publisher and Executive Director of BOA Editions.
