Edgar Kunz: FIXER (In Conversation With Diane Seuss) – Virtual Event

Event Details

Zoom
Wednesday, October 4th, 2023
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Join us in celebrating beloved Baltimore-based poet Edgar Kunz’s new poetry collection, FIXER, with a conversation with Kunz and Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets! Seuss’ enthusiastic blurb graces the cover of FIXER and we are thrilled to present this special chance to hear the two poets discuss the collection in real time.

FIXER, Edgar Kunz’s second poetry collection, propels the reader across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America. Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry.
