Release party and open mic

Come out (no pun intended!) for a night of storytelling, sharing, and community to celebrate the release of local author MJ Anthony’s new collection: Tending Clay; Unearthing Stars.

Bring a friend, poem, story, song, or just yourself!

About the book

"Today I am learning to take anxiety by the hand and teach this trembling, fragile beast that we are (and yet will be) okay."

In their debut collection, MJ Anthony navigates a complicated web of intersecting topics such as complex trauma, neurodiversity, lasting illness, and practicing self-love in a body long-alienated from you. Alongside the reader, the author combs tangles into threads and weaves them into a gentler future, reunifying selves and stories both old and new.

Part hurting, part healing, and wholly original, Tending Clay; Unearthing Stars is a love letter to everyone living with a broken body or a troubled mind
