Today: God Talk: A Poetry Reading with Jessica Jacobs and Philip Metres

You’re welcome to poetry reading featuring Jessica Jacobs and Philip Metres, April 3, 7pm, at John Carroll University (Rodman Hall Meeting Room A, unless we need a bigger venue). This reading will be a sort of dual book release and conversation about poetry, ancestral inheritance, and faith (some may know the funny story about our twin covers). https://www.ideastream.org/…/two-poets-one-jewish-and...
Jessica Jacobs is the author of unalone, poems in conversation with the Book of Genesis (forthcoming from Four Way Books, March 2024); Take Me with You, Wherever You’re Going (Four Way Books, 2019), one of Library Journal’s Best Poetry Books of the Year, winner of the Devil’s Kitchen and Goldie Awards; and other books. She is the founder and executive director of Yetzirah: A Hearth for Jewish Poetry.
Philip Metres is the author of twelve books, including the newest, Fugitive/Refuge, Sand Opera, and Shrapnel Maps. Among his awards are a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Fellowship, two NEA fellowships, and three Arab American Book Awards.
