La National Poetry Series se estableció en 1978 para reconocer y promover la excelencia en la poesía contemporánea, asegurando la publicación anual de cinco libros de poesía a través de editoriales participantes. Además, la National Poetry Series se ha asociado con Miami Book Fair para otorgar el Premio Paz de Poesía, que garantiza la publicación bilingüe de un libro de poemas escrito en español. Esta conversación presenta Kien Lam en Extinction Theory: Poems, speaking with the judge who selected his manuscript, Kyle Dargan, Anagnorisis: Poems. Extinction Theory is a collection of pseudoscience poems that try to provide rationales for some of life’s most salient mysteries. Where is God? What does it mean to belong? Who killed the dinosaurs? Lam creates new worlds with new rules to better answer these perennial questions. His poetry is that of discovery, of looking at the world as if for the first time. He exposes the transitory and transcendent nature of things and how we find meaning. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern, fundador de Ecco, un sello de HarperCollins, y de la National Poetry Series.
