This reading takes place at the Burton Barr Central Library, 1221 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004. 

We are proud to present Matthew Zapruder, who will read from his work. After the reading, there will be a short Q&A and a book signing.

Matthew Zapruder’s most recent book is Why Poetry (Ecco, 2017), an impassioned call for a return to reading poetry, which the New York Times Book Review called “a roaring success.” His new collection, Father's Day, will be published by Copper Canyon in Sept. 2019.

Readings in Phoenix are presented in partnership with Arizona Humanities and the Burton Barr Central Library and with support from the  Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, the Literary & Prologue Society, and Superstition Review.
