- **Event Description**: From his new long poem, NEW YORK TRILOGYAbout this EventAn American long poem in three sections by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Peter Balakian that moves between decades of tumultuous life in New York City and explosive parts of the Middle East.In an inventive, elliptical language, New York Trilogy explores one man's journey from the late 1960s to the twenty-first century, as he moves through a series of experiences centered in New York City and the surrounding New Jersey Palisades. Throughout this long poem in three parts, the protagonist's life is impacted by historical events, including the Armenian Genocide, the bombing of Hiroshima, the Vietnam War, the AIDS epidemic, the attacks of September 11th, the US war in Iraq, and the climate crisis. Comprised of three multi-sequence poems originally included in Peter Balakian's collections No Sign, Ozone Journal, and Ziggurat, the sections of New York Trilogy come together to form a poetry that embraces interior and aesthetic experiences, celebrates human intimacy, and bears witness to history. The historical power and psychological depth of Balakian's work expands on the tradition of the American long poem with a lyrical narrative that weaves intimate personal moments into the vastness of shared history.ABOUT THE AUTHORPeter Balakian is the author of nine books of poems, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Ozone Journal. His memoir Black Dog of Fate won the PEN/Albrand Award, and The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response was a New York Times bestseller. Balakian's work has been translated into many languages, and he teaches at Colgate University.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/311948d0-f2ad-11f0-aa68-99d70a1bdd58-rimg-w830-h740-dc17151a-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/313cfd70-f2ad-11f0-9c90-f330f8f06bdf-rimg-w493-h740-dcfdc210-gmir.jpg
