Peter Balakian: Poetry and Memoir, Memory and Trauma: from the Armenian Genocide to 9/11
Left Bank Books, Sexta-feira, Março 7, 2014 às 7pm
Left Bank Books - Downtown
In The Burning Tigris, the history of the Armenian massacres of the 1890s and the genocide of 1915 is told from the view of American involvement in what was the first major international human rights movement in American history. In Black Dog of Fate, Balakian explores the Armenian past that haunted his family's American identity--dark secrets marked by the Turkish government's extermination of more than a million Armenians in 1915. And in Ziggurat, Peter Balakian explores history, self, and imagination, as well as his ongoing concerns with catastrophe and trauma, many of his poems wrestling with the aftermath and reverberations of 9/11.
Wine and beer available for purchase, provided by The Vino Gallery.
