At this event two authors come together in celebration of James Laughlin "— a classic poet of Catullan sensibility hiding in plain sight as an avant-garde publisher and the 'Godfather of Modernism'”. In “Literchoor is My Beat”: James Laughlin and New Directions, Ian S. MacNiven gives a sensitive and revealing portrait of this visionary and the understory of the last century of American letters. Peter Glassgold, Laughlin’s chosen poetry editor for the last two decades, includes more than 1250 of his poems in The Collected Poems of James Laughlin.
