Join us for the launch of Magma, Lucía Arrocha's second poetry book. This searing collection of poems palpitates with intimacy, perception and delicate subversion. Arrocha traces the emotional landscapes of memory, longing, and transformation, from love’s irregular terrains to the seismic shifts of identity and inheritance. The night will feature live readings by Lucía Arrocha and guest poets Garrett Schlichte and Win Mixter. We will end the evening with a writing exercise and book signing.
Lucía Arrocha is an artist hailing from Buenos Aires and living in San Francisco. Her multicultural background has fostered in her a proclivity for language, as well as a profound fascination for different ways of living and emoting. Poetry was her first love and she has been writing for over two decades, but she has also found her voice through various artistic endeavors such as filmmaking and DJing under the moniker Iris Umbra.
Garrett Schlichte is an award-winning columnist, writer, and chef living in San Francisco. Garrett's work has appeared online and in print in The Washington Post, The New York Times, THEM, Jezebel, Slate, and other outlets.
