Each year the music department presents special music programs for All Soul’s Day and another during the spring.

Today in the Taxi:
Presented by Sean Singer
October 10th
10:45 AM
In Today in the Taxi, Sean Singer takes us on daily treks across New York City as the speaker picks up and drops off passengers. Just as each ride shares a similar structure, each prose poem shares a similar form. The aesthetics of his book reflect the nature of the job, yet this democratic form also houses an operatic range of human experience.
Sean Singer is the author of Discography (Yale University Press, 2002), winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, selected by W.S. Merwin; Honey & Smoke (Eyewear Publishing, 2015); and Today in the Taxi (Tupelo Press, 2022) which won the 2022 National Jewish Book award.
