Come join us for a virtual poetry reading via zoom to raise funds for Oisín's gender-affirming surgery. Featuring poets Paige Lewis, Summer Farah, Tatiana Johnson-Boria, Myles Taylor, and more!

Nature’s voltas, dusk and dawn are periods of tension, anticipation, and dramatic change. As poems of beginnings and endings, longing and leave-taking, dreamlike wonder and song, the nocturne and the aubade engage liminal spaces of possibility and transformation. How do poets harness the power of these twilight periods? How to they draw from the inherent tensions of these poetic modes? This panel will explore the complexity and abundant offerings, the push and pull of these evocative poems.

Please join us for a poetry reading by Tatiana Johnson-Boria, Saeed Jones and Porsha Olayiwola with an introduction by Emmanuel Oppong-Yeboah
