Margin Shift presents We Will Sing of Becoming Tender
Join us at the Hugo House on April 10th as we welcome backĀ Jasmine Elizabeth Smith,Ā whose bookĀ Gone South, is a love letter to the prophetic howl of the blues, andĀ Jen Soriano,Ā whose new collection of lyric essays,Ā Nervous,Ā sings the need to counter our collective anxiety with radical tenderness, along withĀ Ari B. Cofer, whose poems are sonorous, sensual, and full of self-discovery,Ā Zach Charles, whose mosaic of self-portraiture is rich with images of self-awareness and challenges to the status quo, andĀ Rhea Melina, whose punk confessions exhibit both an in-your-face protest of personal and societal abuse and a sincere vulnerability with an inescapable gravity of compassion.
It's going to be a rich night full of fierce displays of tenderness that can withstand all the hate and resentment that's straining our societal bonds at the moment! You won't want to miss!
