Reading from Nasty Women Poets |
| Date: Feb 2, 2018 at 7:00pm to 8:30pm | |
Join us for a reading from the new anthology Nasty Women Poets: An Unapologetic Anthology of Subversive Verse (Lost Horse Press, 2017) as we hear from local contributors Kelli Russell Agodon, Jennifer Bullis, Susan J. Erickson, Susan Rich, Martha Silano, Judith Skillman, and Carolyne Wright.
"This timely collection of poems speaks not just to the current political climate and the man who is responsible for its title, but to the stereotypes and expectations women have faced dating back to Eve, and to the long history of women resisting those limitations. The nasty women poets included here talk back to the men who created those limitations, honor foremothers who offered models of resistance and survival, rewrite myths, celebrate their own sexuality and bodies, and the girlhoods they survived. They sing, swear, swagger, and celebrate, and stake claim to life and art on their own terms." | |
