About this event

A celebration of Ben Gucciardi’s new poetry collection, Arguments, with readings from Edgar Kunz and Samuel Cheney! The poems in Arguments take their launch point from a quote from Yeats: “We make out of our quarrels with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.” These poems confront the contradictions that shape contemporary life: how to make a self, a family and an ethical life within exploitative systems that demand complicity. We’ll hear Ben Gucciardi read from these poems, and as Baltimore-based peots Edgar Kunz and Samuel Cheney read their poems in support, we think there’ll be some interesting conversations between their pieces. Join us to hear for yourself!
