Poetry Reading: Kristin Dykstra

It’s National Poetry Month and we’re doubling our ante of poetic offerings! Poet and literary translator Kristin Dykstra is with us this evening to present new books, one set in the landscape of Chittenden County, Vermont, and others in contrasting places elsewhere in the Americas. Her latest is Dissonance (2025), winner of the Phoenix Emerging Poet Book Prize, from The University of Chicago Press. She will also talk about working with Marcelo Morales on a bilingual edition of his latest prose poetry: short pieces set in contemporary Havana and infused with larger visions of love, history, and urban life. Our event partner, The Flying Pig Bookstore, will be on hand offering copies of the books for sale to any who may want them.
