The store is partnering up with University of Pittsburgh Press to host their 2018 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Winner, Ryan Black, for a reading from his award-winning book The Tenant of Fire.
The Tenant of Fire is about the New York City borough of Queens — its history, public and personal, real and imagined. Many of the people who populate this book (such as Irish Catholics and Italian-Americans) were once considered ethnic but now fall wholly under the banner of white. And from their anxieties a man like Donald Trump emerges. Born and raised in Queens, Trump is both the product and purveyor of a localized nativist politic.
Admission is free. For more information, call (412) 224-2847.
