In a moving event featuring Ishmael Reed and C. S. Giscombe,
Reed shares a generous selection of his poems, including "A Bank Branch
Closes," "Our Love Was Like a Forest Fire," "I Am Not the Walrus," "Memphis,"
"Tough Love," "A Family Values Man," "Picked a Fight with Haitians," "Lake
Bud," and "The Dance." Recipient of a MacArthur Award among many prizes,
