Virtual Event: Henri Cole presenting Blizzard: Poems in conversation with HANNAH AIZENMAN

Harvard Book Store's virtual event series welcomes acclaimed poet HENRI COLE—author of the award-winning poetry collections Touch and Nothing to Declare—for a discussion of his latest collection, Blizzard. He will be joined in conversation by HANNAH AIZENMAN, poetry coordinator at The New Yorker.

About Blizzard

Daring, tender, truthful, the poems in Blizzard, Henri Cole’s tenth book, build on a reputation for quiet mastery. Whether he is wrestling with the mundane, history and its disasters, or sexual love, he can sound both classical and contemporary, with the modern austerity of Cavafy and Bishop. Often exploring the darker places of the heart, his sonnets do not lie down obediently, but spark with an honest self-awareness.

Cole’s lucid, empathetic poems―with lyrical beauty and ethical depth―seem to transmute the anxious perplexities of our time.
