    Please join us for the first reading from Against Agamemnon: four poets (all Houstonians) will read from their contributions to this new anthology of war poetry. Fady Joudah's first poetry collection, The Earth in the Attic, won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize in 2007. City of Regret, Andrew Kozma's collection, won the 2007 Zone 3 First Book Award for Poetry. NEA Fellow and editor Hayan Charara is the author of The Sadness of Others and editor of Inclined to Speak: An Anthology of Contemporary Arab American Poetry. Sasha West is a former Parks Fellow and current lecturer at Rice University.
     

    We are thrilled to host these four poets for a joint reading and signing. Pick up your copy of Against Agamemnon at Brazos today.

    "The French Resistance poet Robert Desnos once wrote 'for the earth is a camp lit by thousands of spiritual fires,' and he saw that in times such as his and our own 'one bivouacs all over the world.' These poems are written by the light of those fires. We owe a debt of gratitude to James Adams for retrieving them from our present darkness." -- Carolyn Forché

    "In this dynamic collection, veterans, peace activists, relatives of service members, U.S. citizens and people from around the world all share space as they write the war from multiple perspectives and poetic approaches, lyrical, angry, hopeful, and heartbreaking." -- Kazim Ali
