Join LGBTQ+ poets Subhaga Crystal Bacon and Tennison Black for a reading and conversation celebrating queer writers! You’ll hear selections from Subhaga’s award winning poetry collection, Transitory, documenting transgender people who have fallen victim to violent hate crimes across the US and Puerto Rico. Tennison will read from his recent National Poetry Series winning book, Survival Strategies, a three-part poetry collection that weaves together a story about identity, family, and place. Be sure to come with questions prepared, as the Pride Center’s Alysin Waite will be hosting a live audience Q&A afterward. And, don’t miss the Open-Mic to follow from 12:30-1:30pm! Purchase the author's books via Auntie's Bookstore!

This event is free and open to the public. Thank you to the Pride Center for their partnership!
