Barbara Unger, award-winning poet and author, will be reading from her latest book of poetry at Bookmans Grant tonight from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. "Impulse Toward Flight" is Unger's latest book of poetry, though the author's work has appeared in The Nation, The Massachusetts Review, The Beloit Poetry Journal and about fifty other poetry journals; and has twice been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

Rutgers University Press has also published a book of non-fiction she co-authored about the NYC borough of The Bronx. "Bronx Accent: A Literary and Pictorial History of The Bronx," which was reviewed in the Sunday Book Review of The New York Times. Unger has twice been nominated for a Pushcart Prize in poetry.
