The Poetry Project

Reading

Ryan Eckes & Ariel Yelen

Under the disaggregating heat of late capitalism, life devolves at varying speeds. Adjuncts toil within the closed walls of crowded classrooms while part-time office workers drift into daydream behind open cubicles. Ariel Yelen and Ryan Eckes are no haters, just poets finding beauty in the hum of a revolving microwave. “The future is absent” but “the poems won’t go away” (Eckes).

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