The City, Our City, (2011), which was a finalist for the William
Carlos Williams Award and the Rilke Prize. He also translated Moikom

Poets (2008). Wayne lives in Kansas City and teaches at the University

Buzz Spector’s art makes frequent use of the book, both as subject and
object, and is concerned with relationships between public history,
individual memory, and perception. Spector’s poetry and experimental
writing has been published in various journals and reviews since the
1970s. He is Dean of the College and Graduate School of Art in the Sam
Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St.
Louis.

Poet, translator, and scholar Mónica de la Torre was born and raised
in Mexico City. Her poetry collections include Public Domain (2008),
Talk Shows (2007), and Acúfenos (2006). With artist Terence Gower, she
co-authored the art book Appendices, Illustrations and Notes (1999).
She is the Senior Editor of BOMB Magazine. She lives in Brooklyn.

All readings are sponsored by All Along Press.
