Speakers including Michael Heller, Norman Finkelstein, Nicole Peyrafitte, Charles Bernstein, Ellen Zweig, Adam Schwerner, and Charlie Morrow offer tributes in music, film, and poetry. The centerpiece, The Tablets, is a work written over decades imagining a trove of Assyriological texts that explores translation, interpretation, and how language generates meaning, with the poet inhabiting a scholar-translator offering tentative, often contradictory readings in an ersatz archaeology both comic and spiritual. The volume also gathers a generous selection of Schwerner's translations and shorter poems.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/guest-program-verge-books-book-launch-the-tablets-selected-p-86669/", "official_url": "", "image": "", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-14T15:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-14T17:30:00-05:00", "place": "Poets House", "address": "River Terrace 10, 10282", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "An Evening With World Poetry featuring a reading by poets Paul Muldoon, Haris Vlavianos and his translator Patricia Barbeito, with a discussion moderated by Mark Mazower", "start": "2026-11-11T18:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Von", "address": "Bleecker Street 3, 10012", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["literature/poetry"], "description": "An evening of poetry readings by Paul Muldoon, Haris Vlavianos and Patricia Barbeito, the translator of Vlavianos.
