In Bonnie Garmus’ Peck & Peck: A Novel, Batter has a seemingly useless “ear” for poetry. But when he lands his dream job in New York at Peck & Peck, the world’s most prestigious poetry quarterly, he enters the literary fast lane. There, he’s soon caught up in a secret war between the Peck brothers – twin editors-in-chief and sworn enemies – while navigating the dysfunctional world they have created. Joining Garmus in conversation is writer and award-winning theatrical producer Stacey Mindich.
