Here is the trailer for my new book from the Four Way Books catalog. I read the first poem from the collection. Check it out when you have a chance. The book can be pre-ordered here. The music in the background is by my partner Jacob Bertrand.

Jennifer Grotz’s new collection of poetry is now out. This is a beautiful book filled with wisdom and an exactness of vision that is humbling. If you haven’t gotten a copy of it yet, you should! You will not regret reading this gorgeous new book. You can take a look at it here.

“For
years, Boris Tuberman and David Shapiro — the 2 owners of the Russian
and Turkish Baths in New York City’s East Village — have split their
business down the middle, running it on alternate weeks. Although they
have separate corporations, they share expenses and the costs of
repairs. On “David weeks,” as they’re called, there is a new crowd. “The
hipsters come in with their Groupons, sporting their tattoos and their
man buns,” said Rich Trince, 50, a longtime regular. On “Boris weeks,”
the regulars are still “vaguely Slavic, vaguely paunchy,” said Charles
Kramer, a 62-year-old lawyer — and another regular.“
