Award-winning poet Cynthia Manick and renowned author and three-time United States Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky read from their books No Sweet Without Brine, and Proverbs of Limbo: Poems. Manick’s No Sweet Without Brine, voted one of the Best Books of 2023 by the New York Public Library, personifies love of self and culture through fresh observations and bitter truths voiced with breathtaking lyricism. In Proverbs of Limbo, Pinsky’s first new book of poetry in eight years, one of our most ambitious, inventive, and finely tuned poets, takes an original approach to the fraught, central matter of borders.
