Celebrate National Poetry Month with a live  reading by distinguished poet Anders Carlson-Wee. "Disease of Kings", a volume of narrative poems, was inspired by Carlson-Wee's life of dumpster diving and train hopping in his twenties, with themes of loneliness, friendship, shame, loss, hope, and survival.

Norton, 2019), a New York Public Library Book Group Selection, and Dynamite (BullCity Press, 2015), winner of the Frost Place Chapbook Prize. His work has appeared in The Paris Review, The Washington Post, Harvard Review, BuzzFeed, American Poetry Review, and many other publications. The recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, he is the winner of the Poetry International Prize. Anders is represented by Massie & McQuilkin Literary Agents and lives in Los Angeles.
