Celebrate four new collections by Mass-based poets!
About this Event

A reading and Q&A with four poets writing resistance in their recently released collections!

John Bonanni's book retrovirology (winner of the Donald Hall Prize for Poetry) chronicles the most fraught years of the AIDS epidemic for a young queer man coming of age in Pennsylvania.

Mckendy Fils-Aimé's book sipèstisyon explores the imperfect and non-linear nature of healing from generational trauma through the lens of Haitian superstitions.

Joey Gould's book transfinity uses math to address the bittersweet longing of young queer love and the multivaried joy of discovering nonbinary identity.

And Danielle Jones's book Hunger moves across generations and continents--from wartime Italy to the Deep South--with poems that thread together the visceral details of history, family, and the body.

Hosted by Key K. Bird
