Inside Weather 2: A Night of Poems, Stories & Art

Join us from your room on Tuesday April 21st at 5:30 pm, where we will Zoom-share work that in some way contemplates the rooms and roomlessness of these times.

This is the second in a series of three opportunities to create community and correspondence during these weeks of isolation. The events also partially act as launch readings for Mattraw’s We fell into weather (March, Cultural Society). Mattraw’s second book explores invisible disabilities and their catalysts– environmental toxins, illness, and epigenetics, among others– while considering what’s outside those rooms.

21 April, Tuesday, 5:30 pm PST

The writers will present in a “round” formation instead of through the patterns we find in a traditional reading. Each feature will offer approximately three minutes of work and then “pass the mic” to the next feature in a repeated, circular pattern.

The concluding “Inside Weather” event will be hosted by Norman Fischer on 19 May, 5:30 pm PST, and will include
