Pulitizer Prize winning poet, Philip Levine will be reading on October 22 at 7 p.m. at Pacific Standard (82 Fourth Avenue in Park Slope between Bergen and St. Marks), a micro brewery that also has a very active and interesting fiction and poetry reading series called "Chin Music."
News of the World, is Levine's 20th book. He divides his time between California and Brooklyn. The son of
Russian immigrants, Levine was born in Detroit and worked in the city's auto plants in the 1950's where, he says, he discovered that the people he was working with "were voiceless in a way."
Levine will be reading with Steve Gehrke and Jason Koo.
