Matthew Zapruder in Conversation With Alana Csaposs

The poems in Matthew Zapruder’s fifth collection, Father’s Day (Copper Canyon), ask how one can be a good father, partner, and citizen in the early 21st century. Zapruder, author of Why Poetry, deftly improvises upon language and lyricism as he passionately engages with these questions during turbulent, uncertain times. Whether interrogating the personalities of the Supreme Court, watching a child grow off into a distance, or tweaking poetry critics and hipsters alike, Zapruder maintains a deeply generous sense of humor alongside a rich vein of love and moral urgency. Zapruder will be joined in conversation by Alana Csaposs, Tin House online editor.
