Poets, writers, and lovers of the written word~ My First Matter Press cohort & I will host a free invigorating chat, titled “What’s Erased? Dualities and Multiplicities.” What erasures are in my book Brava? Body image! Indigenous roots! Family secrets! Please register at firstmatterpress.org/convos.
