Acclaimed poet Henri Cole reads from his new collection, Pierce the Skin: Selected Poems 1982-2007. Cole, winner of numerous awards and the former chairman of the Academy of American Poets, has been called, "a master . . . and a connoisseur of the suggestive mysteries of cadence" by novelist Colm Toibon. This event is cosponsored with the Grolier Poetry Bookshop, America's oldest all-poetry bookstore, and Lame Duck Books, Harvard Square's pre-eminent destination for rare and antiquarian books.
