Body Talk: an evening of readings

“I am not an intellectual. I write with my body.”
—Clarice Lispector

 

“Body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody
Ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody (mwah)”
— Megan Thee Stallion

 

Come enjoy an evening hosted by visiting poet Emily Marie Passos Duffy and local author Leah Mele-Bazaz! This multigenre reading of prose, poetry, and hybrid forms will explore a spectrum of sensations from body horror to body elation. What are the limits of the body? How do factors such as ability, age, gender identity and expression, race, size, sexuality, illness, wellness, relationship with your environment, and more shape the language of your body?

 

TUESDAY, APRIL 11TH
6-9PM
NO COVER // SUGGESTED DONATION
RSVP: FB EVENT

 

Readings by your hosts and featured writers Jeannine A. Cook, Alexa Vallejo, K.P. Writ, and Nathan Alling Long explore these questions and delve into the ways bodies can hunger, betray us, support us, and teach us.

The event will include book signings, pop up flash readings, and more!
