D.A. Powell & David Trinidad

D.A. Powell and David Trinidad will read from their collaboration, By Myself: An Autobiography. Composed of individual sentences drawn from three hundred separate memoirs penned by everyone from Lana Turner to Harpo Marx, this book unfolds as the story of a singular, plural, famously anonymous character. Frequently hilarious, as familiar as it is strange, Powell and Trinidad, both widely published poets, offer a new take on hybridity, commonality and the written life.
