To achieve transformation, we must first imagine it. The fall season of WeHo Reads 2025 begins with four authors summoning their powers of creativity and advocacy. The participating writers delight in showing readers expansive visions of life, death, and all the sublime and horrific moments in between. 

This event brings together poets and authors with queer and marginalized perspectives on the transformative power of literature. Featuring: Gina Rae Duran, interdisciplinary artist, trauma-informed educator, and editor of The White Picket Fence: Stories of Individuality as Rebelliousness anthology, forthcoming from FlowerSong Press; Carlos Allende González, educator and author of Coffee, Shopping, M**der, Love and Love, or the Witches of Windward Circle; Myriam Gurba, activist and author of several books including Poppy State: A Labyrinth of Plants and a Story of Beginnings; and Dan López, editor and author of The Show House, named a Best Book of 2016 by Chicago Review of Books, and Part the Hawser, Limn the Sea.
