# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Poetry with Joseph Bathanti
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Joseph Bathanti will visit City Lights to read from his new poetry collection, Steady Daylight, on Saturday, April 18th at 3:00pm. 

Steady Daylight, the latest volume of poetry from Joseph Bathanti, returns to the place he grew up, the now-vanished neighborhood of East Liberty in Pittsburgh. The speaker traipses fearlessly between real and imagined realms, in the face of often conflicted sensibilities, secrets, and silence. While the physical touchstones of the “old” East Liberty have evanesced, Bathanti invents a world ample enough for the dead and the living through incantatory language thrumming with hope and photographic integrity. Ultimately, Steady Daylight is an elegy and a praise song, a heartbreakingly beautiful requiem.

Joseph Bathanti, author of more than twenty books, is the former North Carolina poet laureate (2012–14); recipient of the North Carolina Award in Literature, the state’s highest civilian honor; and an inductee of the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame.
