Nick Martino w/ Ally Ang, SCRAP BOOK

A lyric exploration of his father’s prison sentence and its aftermath, an inherited history marked by silence, fracture, shame, and addiction.

Poet and educator Nick Martino reads from his debut collection Scrap Book, a lyric, hybrid exploration of his father’s prison sentence and its aftermath—an inherited history marked by silence, fracture, shame, and addiction. Weaving poems with invented forms, familial documents, and fragmented memory, Martino constructs an autoethnographic study of carceral trauma and its reverberations across generations. He'll be joined by fellow poet Ally Ang.
