Leah Umansky Reading Two Poems

Continuing our series from our contributors to Issue 17.1, today we feature Leah Umansky, who reads her poems from our pages but also describes the project they’re from, Of Tyrant. We’re glad to hear about the context behind these encompassing poems.

Leah Umansky is the author of The Barbarous Century (2018) and Domestic Uncertainties (BlazeVOX, 2013). She is the curator of the COUPLET Reading Series in Manhattan. Her work has been widely published and is forthcoming in Poetry, Poetry International, and Rhino.

(To read more great poetry from Issue 17.1, you can buy copies of the issue in our online store, including the digital version, which is just $5.)
