Incidents of Travel in Poetry: The Poems of Frank Lima

Join City Lights’ Poetry Editor Garrett Caples, and Berkeley-based poet, Julien Poirier, for a presentation from their co-edited, posthumous Frank Lima anthology, Incidents of Travel in Poetry. A classically trained chef, born in Spanish Harlem in 1939, Lima’s poems are steeped in the pain and playfulness of the urban milieu in which they were created. Caples and Poirier will also read from their own works, including Caples’ new collection Power Ballads, published this month by Wave Books.
