With his first poetry book in nearly ten years, Ron Rash will visit City Lights Bookstore to read from his new collection, Waking, Sunday, August 28th at 1 p.m. This is a book  full of sorrow and redemption, sparseness and the beauty of a single stark detail–the muskellunge at first light, a barn choked with curing tobacco, a porch full of men and the rockers that move them over the same spot until they carve their names into the ground, deeper, even into the roots where myths start, into the very marrow of the world.
