10 River Terrace New York, NY 10282 | Tuesday| October 29 | 7-9pm

In honor of our own Distinguished Professor Kimiko Hahn’s achievement as a poet, curator, and professor, Poet’s House will be holding a tribute reading at the end of the month featuring Tamiko Beyer, Mark Doty, and Roger Sedarat, and of course Kimiko Hahn herself.

Ever the innovator, Hahn’s latest book, The Ghost Forest (W.W. Norton, 2024), is not just a book of selected poems after a long and illustrious career, but a conversation–the book opens with forty-three new formally inventive poems and leading the reader back in time through selections from her ten previous volumes. This exchange between old and new work, between tradition and identity, transforms this book into a hybrid autobiography.

Hahn will read from the new poems in the collection, while guest poets will read selections of their favorite works by Hahn throughout the decades.

The reading will take place in Poets House’s Kray Hall, with a reception to follow.

As fans of poetry, we hope to see you there!
