The Poetry Project hosts Ron Padgett for the launch of his new poetry collection, Pink Dust, out March 11 from NYRB Poets.
Ron Padgett is one of America's best-known and most acclaimed poets. Admired by John Ashbury, Jim Jarmusch, and Anne Waldman, his poems have moved and delighted generations of readers with their inventiveness, their gentle humor, and above all their ability to elicit wonder. These qualities are as evident as ever in Pink Dust, whose title refers to the residue from all the author's erasers, swept away or blown into the air. Like that dust, this is a book of memories rubbing up against the present. Its poignant reflections on old age shimmer with all the insouciance of youth.
Join Padgett at the Poetry Project for a celebration of his work and the release of this latest collection.
Tickets required for in-person attendance. The event will also be live-streamed for free on the Poetry Project YouTube.
