Descent into Darkness Armed Only with Words

An Evening of Poetry on New York (and Beyond)

With Paul MARIANI, Author, Poet and University Professor of English at Boston College

Presented by Crossroads Cultural Center

Paul Mariani, acclaimed American poet, biographer, critic, essayist, memoirist, and teacher, is sure to dazzle us with an evening of New York City poetry, reading and exploring works by Claude McKay, Hart Crane, William Carlos Williams, Sharon Olds, and more! In a time when political strife and personal alienation seem to absorb every moment, Mariani hopes to share how poetry sheds light on the deepest needs and desires of our humanity.

The event is free and open to the public.
