DESCRIPTION:Edward Hirsch is a major American poet\, advocate for the art o
 f poetry\, and president of the Guggenheim Foundation. His new memoir is M
 y Childhood in Pieces: A Stand-Up Comedy\, a Skokie Elegy (2025). \n\nIn i
 ts review of My Childhood in Pieces\, Kirkus Reviews said\, “Hirsch chan
 nels the voices and personalities of his Chicagoland Jewish childhood to c
 reate a memoir composed of jokes and short vignettes\, one setup-and-punch
 line after another… sometimes silly\, sometimes off-color\, often Yiddis
 h-flavored\, with a penchant for puns and dad jokes that never quits…. A
  unique recreation of a great life in a largely vanished world.” His 199
 9 book\, How to Read a Poem: And Fall in Love with Poetry\, was a national
  bestseller.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Books will be a
 vailable. A signing will follow the conversation. \n\nCosponsored by the J
 ewish Federation of Northeastern New York.
