This summer, the Academy of American Poets continues its tradition of summer poetry readings by working with the City Parks Foundation to present Poetry from the Rooftops. Step out of the flow of traffic and hear these poets "bare their brains to heaven":
Cynthia Cruz is the author of Ruin (Alice James Books, 2009). Her poems have appeared in Paris Review, Boston Review, Pleiades, Black Warrior Review, among others, and have been anthologized in Isn't it Romantic: 100 Love Poems by Younger Poets and The Iowa Anthology of New American Poetries.
Laynie Browne is the recipient of the 2007 National Poetry Series award, and is the author of several collections, including The Scented Fox (Wave Books, 2007), Original Presence (Shivistan Books, 2006), and Drawing of a Swan Before Memory (University of Georgia Press, 2005), winner of the Contemporary Poetry Series.
Valzhyna Mort’s collections include Factory of Tears (Copper Canyon, 2008) and I’m as Thin as Your Eyelashes (Belarus, 2005). She was born in Belarus and composes her work in Belarusian and English. She has been the recipient of the Crystal of Vilenica award in Slovenia in 2005 and the Burda Poetry Prize in Germany in 2008.
