Ari Banias

Ari Banias is a poet, teacher, and bookseller, and the current poet laureate of Northampton. His two books are A Symmetry (2021), which won the 2022 Leslie Feinberg Award for Trans & Gender Variant Literature, and Anybody (2016), both from W. W. Norton. Ari is interested in what language-work can open or break or move, within and beyond our individual selves toward collective being-feeling-acting.
