They will analyze the emotions of shame and concealment that have shrouded the female form, discussing how these perceptions can be informed by the race and class of the women involved. Featured guests: Ameenah Shakir: 20th Century U.S. historian of race and medicine at the University of Houston Cat Bohannon: author of "Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution" The discussion will be moderated by Pam Belluck, New York Times staff writer whose honors include a Pulitzer Prize and the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting.

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.
