Join local poet Zach Goldberg to celebrate the release of his full-length collection of poetry I'd Rather Be Destroyed (Button Poetry, 2024) on Sunday, September 22nd at 3:00pm. Earnest and darkly funny, this collection rebuilds the self from its broken pieces. Playing with dynamic and experimental forms, Goldberg explores modern Jewish identity, familial and cultural inheritances, and managing mental health. Its historical and religious allusions navigate modern and personal conversations, reflecting how we embrace and reject the legacies that shape us.In addition to a reading from the collection, this release show will feature poetry from:
Kanoro day
Farah Habad
TaneshaNicole Kozler
Ollie Schminkey
Anna Šverclová
Afterwards, buy a copy from Moon Palace and get it signed by the author!
