A Reading at Poets House

He just really feels like Claudia Rankine speaks to his soul. Citizen moved him to tears and Don't Let Me Be Lonely is one of his top 50 favorite poetry collections. He'll tell you about how this reminds him of a modern version of Stein's salon and will offer you a copy of his self-published sonnet collection. At the end of the reading he will embarrass you by giving an unwelcomed standing ovation.
