Online Program: Poets House Presents: Major Jackson

Poets House Presents is a series of 10 minute readings by poets that are live streamed on Twitter and posted on our Archive, Facebook, IGTV, and YouTube on Wednesdays and Fridays at Noon–to keep our community thriving. Free!

Major Jackson reads from his new book, “The Absurd Man” (W. W. Norton, 2020), from his home in Vermont.

Major Jackson is the author of five books of poetry, including “The Absurd Man,” released this year, and “Leaving Saturn,” which won the Cave Canem Poetry Prize for a first book of poems.
