Join poet Bitania Yemane for a reading and signing of WORDS OF YESTERDAY—a poetry collection that, while themeless in structure, is deeply inspired by Langston Hughes’ concept of dreams and the scattered thoughts of resistance, love, social justice, and identity.
The evening includes an interactive workshop exploring how writers like Hughes, Audre Lorde, and other Black and marginalized voices have used language to reflect and reshape the times we live in.
Bitania Yemane is a Philadelphia-based poet, climate justice activist, and the founder of Metaphoric Aroma, a candle brand where scent meets story. With a master’s degree in environmental policy and management, her work bridges art and advocacy—exploring themes of identity, love, resistance, and healing. Her debut poetry collection, WORDS OF YESTERDAY, invites readers into the scattered, tender thoughts of a dreamer navigating the personal and the political. Through both writing and organizing, Bitania is committed to creating spaces that center community, justice, and imagination.
