Details

Join us on Friday, October 20, as Ernest & Hadley Booksellers welcomes award-winning author Matthew Minicucci for the launch of his latest poetry collection, DUAL. In this thought-provoking book, Minicucci delves into the complexities of masculinity, aggression, and violence, exploring the concept of duality as a lens through which to examine these themes. Drawing inspiration from both contemporary moments and key texts from Western literature, Minicucci skillfully weaves together elegies, palinodes, and contrapuntal poems to shed new light on the aggression of young men. Through his powerful words, Minicucci challenges our preconceived notions of the West and its association with bullets, juxtaposing it with modern-day landscapes across various states. Dual also explores the concept of loss, offering moments of unexpected lightness amidst weighty subjects. Minicucci's previous works have been celebrated for their depth and insight, and his poems and essays have been published in prestigious journals. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with the author and explore the profound themes of Dual. Admission to the event is free, and it promises to be an enriching experience for poetry enthusiasts and readers alike.
