Lynn Chandhok will read from her book, View from Zero Bridge, which was selected for the Phillip Levine Prize. That’s a big deal.

Congrats to Lynn, who lives in Park Slope, has taught middle and high school, and travels frequently to India.

Mark Jarman says of Chandhok’s writing: “Lynn Chandhok’s are poems of two worlds, united by the poet’s eye for detail and ear for the iamb’s narrative music. She seems constantly aware of what is happening, as she says, ‘a hemisphere away.’ The View From Zero Bridge, honest and necessary, could not come at a better time.”

Community Bookstore reading: November 1, 2007 at 7:30 p.m.

Brooklyn Reading Works: November 15th at 8 p.m.

Lynn will be part of Poetry Punch at Brooklyn Reading Works on November 15th. That reading will also include: Michele Madigan Somerville, Cheryl B., Zaedryn Meade, Marietta Abrams, and possibly Rachel Vigier.
