Charles Bernstein's new book is called "The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays & Comedies."

It includes not just poetry but essays on aesthetics and literary studies, interviews with other poets, autobiographical sketches, and more. It's a dialogic novel, a very long poem, and a grand opera all wrapped into one.

Joined by Susan Bee, Felix Bernstein, Tracie Morris, and Tan Lin, Charles orchestrates a performance of the book and hosts an evening of tributes, poetics and polemics with a mosaic of voices that appear in it: from Antin to Zukofsky, from Creeley to Stein, from Tonya Foster to Johanna Drucker, along with flights of fancy on translation, identity, and aesthetic possibility.
