My piece on the one and only Olu Dara — cornet player, storyteller, and father of Nas.

One staple of Tin House magazine is the ‘Lost and Found’ section, where writers talk personally about encounters with an old or neglected book they fancy. I have one in the current Summer Reading issue, about Paul Valéry’s Analects. Inside there’s also a great interview with Etgar Keret, and more.

On Friday, March 26 I’ll be doing a group reading with Claire Hero and others as part of the Earshot series in Williamsburg.

On Tuesday, May 11 the good people at Melville House Publishing will be hosting an event at their space in Dumbo, featuring myself together with the poets Howard Altmann and Tom Healy.
