Poetry evenings at Parasol Unit will resume this Saturday evening, 3 March,
with Peter Cole and Tony Lopez
Peter Cole's two books of poems originally published in the United
States have now been published together as What Is Doubled: Poems 1981-1998
(Shearsman, 2005). He has also published many volumes of translations of
medieval and contemporary Hebrew as well as Arabic poetry, for which he has
won the TLS Translation Prize and the PEN-American Translation Award, among
others. He lives in Jerusalem where he co-edits Ibis Editions, a press
devoted to the literature of the Levant.
Tony Lopez teaches at the University of Plymouth and is the author of many
books and pamphlets of poetry including Devolution (The Figures, 2000), Data
Shadow (Reality Street, 2000), and False Memory (Salt, 2003), which Robert
Potts in the Guardian called "by far my favourite individual volume of
poetry this year. a series of sonnet sequences collaging and remixing the
white noise of 1990s Britain into a disorienting, sometimes hilarious, often
sinister, and always satirical challenge." His most recent book is Meaning
Performance: Essays in Poetry (Salt, 2006).
Upcoming readings will take place on Thursday, 29 March, 6:30 PM, with Lyn
Hejinian and Barrett Watten, and Tuesday, 5 June, 6:30 PM, with Michael
Glover and Ernesto Priego. The readings are organized and introduced by
Barry Schwabsky.
Parasol Unit is located at 14 Wharf Road, London N1, near the Old Street
and Angel tube stations. The readings are free to the public.
