Christopher Kondrich, Lillian-Yvonne Bertram and Lindsay Bernal: TREAD UPON

Join poets Christopher Kondrich, Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, and Lindsay Bernal as they launch TREAD UPON, Kondrich’s latest book, out from Copper Canyon Press!

TREAD UPON explores the the social, political, religious, and economic drivers behind the chronic devaluation of the living world. In poems that sprawl from suburbia to the Southern Ocean, from the Cape Fear River to the phones in our hands, Kondrich juxtaposes the intimate with the epic, integrating climate research and reporting to ask the question: What is the price of our (in)actions and who must pay the cost?

Kondrich will be joined by Lillian-Yvonne Bertram, the National Book Award-longlisted author of NEGATIVE MONEY (Soft Skull) and Lindsay Bernal, author of the National Poetry Series-winning WHAT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO DO WITH (University of Georgia Press).
