If in Brooklyn

This image is a diptych. At left is a collage in which Hindi-language printed text is interwoven with the black-and-white photograph of a crowd scene. The crowd is composed of male figures in white robes. Some are seated, some are standing, and their faces are indistinct. A torn scrap of red printed paper with white zeroes on it overlays the center of the collage, and above it appears a criss-crossed network of rebar, from a separate black-and-white photograph. At right is information about the poetry reading, which took place on November 18, 2021, and featured Aditya Bahl, Marie Buck, Charles Bernstein, and David Larsen. Glad to be reading this Thursday at the launch of Aditya Bahl's chapbook MUKT (Organism for Poetic Research, 2021).
