From romantic love\, to lack of love\, to forbidden love\, to self-love\, Ball’s poems grapple with the sticky parts of the human heart. Heavily influenced by punk rock music\, pop culture and sex-positive feminism\, “The Punks Are Writing Love Songs” is no sugar-coated sonnet collection. Expect unexpected humor\, playful wordplay and cutting honesty. \nKate Lebo\, Emily Wittenhagen and Jamey Braden Von Mooter will start the night with a poem each before Tara Hardy introduces Elissa Ball and her debut collection. \nAbout Elissa BallElissa Ball is a writer\, performer and feminist who hails from Yakima\, Washington.
