Born in Romania, Andrei Codrescu came to the United States in 1966, first to Detroit and then to New York City. His latest work,"No Time Like Now: Poems" resumes his reflection on his experiences in New York City and compares 1966 to present day NYC.
No Time Like Now: Poems acts as a sequel of sorts to his License to Carry a Gun (1970) which focused on Codrescu’s initial experiences in New York City from 1967-1970. Codrescu is also a novelist, essayist, screenwriter, and commentator for National Public Radio.
Presented in conjunction with the AWM’s special exhibit My America: Immigrant and Refugee Writers Today, this program is part of the Jeanne M. & John W. Rowe program series, a series of conversations with leading contemporary writers about their latest work and their thoughts on themes of identity, home, belonging and the meaning of what it is to be American.
