Poet, novelist, essayist, translator, and scholar of Hebrew and Jewish literature of the Middle East Ammiel Alcalay will give a reading at the Kelly Writers House this week (what a week upcoming it is!): on Wednesday, 11/17/10, starting at 6 PM. For much more, go here.
Earlier the same day, Ammiel and I, and two others, will record a session of PoemTalk on John Wieners.
