Happy Birthday Action Books!
April 1 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
“For two decades now, Action Books has been publishing some of the most exciting translated work in the United States. Action Books is a transnational, interlingual publishing house that we at City of Asylum have had the privilege of working closely with over the years. Just last March, they published writer-in-residence Rania Mamoun’s first English poetry collection (and first release without a pen name), Something Evergreen Called Life. Their care and dedication to their craft was instrumental in celebrating this joyful moment in Rania’s life, and now, we have the chance to return the favor. This special 20 year anniversary bash begins with a small reception at 6pm, followed by a 7pm program featuring over a dozen of Action Books’ poets and their translators in an evening of conversation, readings, and festivities. The featured readers include some of the most acclaimed poets from around the globe, joining us both virtually and in-person.”
