‘Common Place’ Poetry Book Talk & Reading | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Common Place continues poet Rob Halpern’s sustained inquiry into the relations of body and voice to relentless militarization and economic depradation. Written in enjambed verses and impacted prose, Halpern’s language is at once raw and sculpted, passionate and analytic.

Halpern is the author of several books of poetry, including Music for Porn (Nightboat 2013), Disaster Suites (Palm Press 2009), and Rumored Place (Krupskaya 2006). Together with Taylor Brady, he also co-authored the book-length poem Snow Sensitive Skin, which has been reissued by Displaced Press. Recent essays and translations appear in Chicago Review, Journal of Narrative Theory, and The Claudius App.

Rob currently splits his time between San Francisco and Ypsilanti, Michigan.
