An evening of readings from four writers in-residence: a American novelist and esteemed literary figure aimlessly strolling á la Baudelaire in often-seen and usually-unseen Paris; a Jamaican essayist contemplating the complications, and the joys, of walking as a black man in America and other parts of the world; an Italian novelist discovering a city and her own way out of grief in New York; and a poet who walks to disconnect from the day-to-day, and digital, world and to connect to essential rhythms of breathing and poetry. The readings from each writer were in English with Italian translation, and/or in Italian with English translation, followed by a conversation.

Participating writers:
