Martín Espada has published more than twenty books as a poet, editor, essayist and translator. His latest book of poems is called Floaters (2021), winner of the National Book Award and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
Tabish Khair will lecture on “Literature and Fundamentalism: Initial Thoughts from Ongoing Research” at 7:00 pm, on May 5, in South College E470.
Khair's work is an excellent example of how literature, and fiction in particular, gives us access to lived history and politics in a way that nothing else can. His new novel, The Body by the Shore, is his first venture into sci-fi and eco-literature, and it’s also a real thriller.
