Forget Why Poetry Series - Ted Dodson & Buck Downs

Saturday November 15 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETS

Ted Dodson is the author of An Orange(Pioneer Works / Wonder, 2021) and co-translator of Death at the Very Touch / The Cold by Jaime Saenz (Action Books, forthcoming). He is a contributing editor for BOMB, an editor-at-large for Futurepoem, and a former editor of The Poetry Project Newsletter.

Sending postcards, stickers, voicemails, and other ephemera across the country and around the world, BUCK DOWNS creates a body of work as boundless and intimate as life and death. In Paideuma's "Poets We Live With" issue, Anne Boyer writes: "... the postcard performances of Buck Downs are a world-historically perfect match between poetry and method of publication." Coming soon from above/ground press is [OKAY], a second collection of Instagram poems.
