Noah Warren reads from his first collection, The Destroyer in the Glass, winner of the 110th Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize.
Praise for The Destroyer in the Glass:
“The Destroyer in the Glass impresses at once with its wedding of intellect, heart, sly humor, and formal dexterity, all in the service of negotiating those moments when an impulse toward communion with others competes with an instinct for a more isolated self. The poems both examine and embody the nexus of joy and sorrow, of certainty and confusion, without which there’d be none of the restlessness that makes us uniquely human. Warren’s vision is a generous one indeed —and itself a gift.” --Carl Phillips, Judge's Citation
