Please join us for a special evening featuring poet and publisher Ted Washington's latest book, "Bone Lyre," and poet and teacher Alexis V. Jackson's latest book, "My Sisters' Country." Of "Bone Lyre," the writer Georgianna Simmons writes: “Love poems like ‘Lauren’ put tears in my eyes with captivating words and rhythm. Haikus featuring nature and politics both eased and upset me with their truths. 'Bone Lyre' is an emotional read.” "My Sisters’ Country" artfully braids together a multi-vocal chorus of Black women’s voices across time. Jackson bends and breaks forms like the sonnet, pantoum, and zuihitsu. She invites readers to consider the ways Black women, who were once considered countryless property, made country out of and in one another. Light refreshments served. Please Register About the poets: Ted Washington is an artist, author, and reluctant businessman. He's the founder of Puna Press and the performance group Pruitt Igoe in addition to being the host of Palabra, an open mic poetry reading held monthly at Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan. Alexis V.
