    SAN FRANCISCO - Peter Balakian will read from his new book of poems

    In Ziggurat, Balakian continues to define himself as one of the most
    distinctive voices of his generation.

    He explores history, self and imagination, as well as his ongoing
    concerns with catastrophe and trauma.

    Balakian is the Donald M. and Constance H. Rebar Professor in
    Humanities and professor of English at Colgate University.

    He is the author of five books of poems including June-tree: New and
    Selected Poems 1974-2000, and three prose works, including The Burning
    Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response, a New York
    Times best seller, and Black Dog of Fate, winner of the PEN/Albrand
    Prize for memoir. For further information about Balakian's tour, visit
