THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 29, 3PM at Berls Brooklyn Poetry Shop: Honored to host poet WENDY S. WALTERS at the POPSICKLE FIVE literary festival! Heres what Dawn Lundy Martin says about Walterss new collection TROY, MICHIGAN: If to imagine the city is to imagine the human psyche, as it is in Italo Calvinos Invisible Cities, then Wendy S. Walterss TROY, MICHIGAN approximates a psyche flattened by middle class desires, racist anxieties, and inexplicably terrifying violence. Walterss quiet, haunting utterances are beautifully precise mappings of the measure of a citys weight and thereby its dark (or darkened) soul. In the wake of reading, I am reminded of Kiplings refrain, Lest we forget—a warning, a kind of boogeyman emergent from a landscapes shiny surface. Walterss TROY, MICHIGAN simply could not be better.
