A Poetry Coup. Ari Banias Reads at Berkeley Books. - Berkeley Books Of Paris

The latest in the bookshop's series 'Poets To Watch Out For.'

I am honored that Ari accepted my invitation to read in the bookshop.

If you are not away on holiday, you'll want to be here for this.

Here's the bio:

"Ari Banias is the author of Anybody (W.W. Norton, 2016), and a chapbook, What’s Personal is Being Here With All of You (Portable Press @ Yo-Yo Labs, 2012). His poems appear in American Poetry Review, Boston Review, Guernica, The Offing, Poetry, The Volta, and as part of the exhibition Transgender Hirstory in 99 Objects. He is the recipient of fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing, and Stanford University’s Wallace Stegner program. Ari lives in Berkeley, where he works with small press books and teaches poetry. For the summer of 2017, he is a resident at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris."
