Mikhail Mazel and Gary Light presenting a book of poetry “Thaw Molecules”

Both authors were born in the country, which no longer exists, in a year that mirrors the 67th Street sign in Central Park. One of the authors grew up in Chicago and is currently based in Miami. The other author came to New York as an adult, lived in Manhattan for a while, and now sees it in perspective from his windows in Jersey City. Since the early 2000’s they occasionally meet in Central Park, right around that 67th street intersection, and talk about literature, poetry in particular. About a year ago on an April day, at that intersection they figured that, doing a book of poetry, which would somewhat symbolically mirror the numerology of the intersection, would be a fun thing to do.

The book and poetry at this event will be presented in the original Russian.

This program is made possible through the Poets House Literary Partners Program.
