The Central Park Book Club meets (almost) every 4th Monday of the month to discuss books across all genres. Join the group and create a space to talk about and enjoy reading!

This month, we will be discussing two poetry collections: The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On by Franny Choi ("With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future") and Alive at the End of the World by Saeed Jones ("This is a work that examines the nuances of grief--the grief over lost family members and lost loves; the grief of white supremacy and the myth of safety from homophobia, anti-blackness, gun violence; the grief of covid").
