The Poetry Project

Reading

Brandon Brown + Laura Henriksen

Laura Henriksen and Brandon Brown write poetry with sentences, a form suited to capturing the meanderings of thought and its insights into ambient culture, from feminist porn to heart-wrenching pop songs. Endlessly surprising and philosophically astute, their poetry negotiates aloud the self in tension with the world, a dialectic at the core of their writing. Their trust in language is entirely devoted; through it they learn (and teach us) what it means to know better and to love more, with equal measures of faith and uncertainty.

This event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.
