Poetry Month Event: an eternal wing with lee rae walsh

with an eternal wing is a performance, an experimental lecture, a workshop, a space(?) of study. ‘what to do? show a part of it only, in a narrow mirror, as if it were the hole?’ (cc, disavowals, cancelled confessions). Inspired by the queer, historical site of Alice Austen House, and research around gay icon Claude Cahun, lee asks participants to reconsider the ‘bibliography’ as something very much alive, determining each Act. ‘refusing to bump into walls, bump into windows instead?’ (cc), the whole thing as a hymn.

Come write love letters to gay ghosts, [imagine the voice, yours or mine, as a live wire line, weaving(?) histories, and celebrate poetry month with a sermon of sorts, delivered by a poet’s tongue. ]

There is a suggested donation for this program of $10 .
