The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Lawrence Giffin reading.
Lawrence Giffin
Lawrence Giffin’s most recent book “Untitled, 2004,” is a long poem that takes Agnes Martin’s final painting as an occasion for a meditation on death & birth, history & chance, love & exploitation, all addressed to his newborn daughter, Agnes. He is a co-editor at Golias Books.
