Michael Stewart Foley, “Citizen Cash: The Political Life and Times of Johnny Cash.” Of Foley’s book, Ken Burns says, “This is an important reassessment of one of American music’s greatest performers, revealing a complex artist of the first magnitude who used his art and empathy to parse for him the contradictory times he immortalized in his work.” 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Joshua Nguyen, “Come Clean.” Nguyen’s sharp, songlike and often experimental collection compartmentalizes past trauma — sexual and generational — through the quotidian: rinsing rice until the water runs clear, folding clean shirts and attempts at re-creating an unwritten family recipe. 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
