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. This outdoor reading series is held on the newly renovated rooftop of the Arsenal Building in Central Park. Step out of the flow of traffic and hear these poets "bare their brains to heaven":
Arda Collins is the author of It is Daylight (Yale University, 2009), which won the 2008 Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition. Her poems have been published in The New Yorker, The American Poetry Review, and A Public Space, among others. She is an editor of the online poetry journal GutCult.
Fady Joudah is the author of The Earth in the Attic (Yale University, 2008), which won the 2007 Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition. He is also the translator of Mahmoud Darwish’s recent poetry The Butterfly’s Burden, which was a finalist for the 2008 PEN Award for Poetry in Translation.
Jonathan Thirkield is the author of The Waker's Corridor (LSU, 2008), selected by Linda Bierds for the 2008 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets. His poems have appeared in WebConjunctions, New American Writing, American Letters & Commentary, and Verse, among others.
