Saturday, April 25 at 5pm

The Segue Reading Series and Artists Space take an unprecedented step in a precarious time, as the two New York arts organizations collaborate to present the Segue Reading Series, live online via Zoom, on Saturdays at 5pm. On Saturday, April 25 at 5pm, Shane McCrae & Bob Perelman will be in conversation regarding their respective writing practices. McCrae’s newest books are The Gilded Auction Block (FSG, 2019) and Sometimes I Have Never Suffered (FSG, 2020). He has received a Whiting Writer’s Award, an NEA fellowship, a Lannan Literary Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and an Anisfield-Wolf Book Award. He lives in New York and teaches at Columbia, and Bob Perelman's latest book of poetry is Jack and Jill in Troy (Roof), his latest critical book is Modernism the Morning After (Alabama). He now lives in Berkeley, CA.

Segue and Artists Space want collectively to affirm their longstanding commitments to the necessity of artistic work that interrogates and challenges the world as such. This legendary series has run continuously in New York City for over 40 years, and will be presented as a way to continue routinely convening both in spite of, and made all the more pressing by, the health risks keeping us physically distanced.
