A guy goes to Timbuktu

With carefully chosen line breaks and few steadfast grammatical rules, poetry can be an important medium for the complexities of human identity. Add two separate languages, and the possibilities continue to grow. Hanoch Guy spent his childhood in Israel, and writes his poetry in both Hebrew and English. His words span time and culture, reminiscing about the desert of his childhood, while adopting the voice of a modern-day sage. Keeping in line with the international theme, his latest book, The Road to Timbuktu, is a collection of travel poems that takes readers from the Sahara Desert to icy Newfoundland via the vivid description so central to Guy's work. Join him tonight as he reads excerpts.

2 p.m., free, Musehouse Center, 7924 Germantown Ave., musehousecenter.com.
