Kaminsky's new book Deaf Republic, writes Rich Smith, is composed of "linked lyrics about an occupied population trying to resist the government after soldiers kill a deaf boy at a protest." Reportedly, seeing Kaminsky read/perform the poems is a fascinating experience. Mark Doty, one of the most celebrated living poets, has won many awards, including the T. S. Eliot Prize. No doubt this'll be one of the best poetry double bills of the month.
