SUMMARY:KSW Presents "A History of Our Naming"
DESCRIPTION:Kearny Street Workshop’s bi-monthly reading series celebrates new poetry releases by Michelle Peñaloza and Đỗ Nguyên Mai.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nOn Friday\, November 22nd\, KSW Presents “A History of Our Naming” featuring poets Michelle Peñaloza\, author of Former Possessions of the Spanish Empire\, and Đỗ Nguyên Mai\, author of Battlefield Blooming. This reading is a celebration of their new collections of poetry. Their poems ask us to look at—and not away—from the histories\, hauntings\, and presences of colonialism\, conquest\, and imperialism. These poets find power in the work of gathering fragments and fractures\, and in what emerges from this naming for their families\, for their communities\, and for themselves. \nThe title of this event is inspired by a line from Michelle Peñaloza’s titular poem “Former Possessions of the Spanish Empire.” \n+++ \nCALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: We are opening up submissions for writers to be a part of this reading. Please see below for more information. DEADLINE 11/15. APPLY HERE: https://kearnystreet.submittable.com/submit/151954/ksw-presents-a-history-of-our-naming \nWHEN: Friday\, November 22\, 2019\, from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM. \nWHERE: Arc Gallery & Studios\, 1246 Folsom Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94103. \nHOW MUCH: $8 Pre-sale\, $20 Support Level (reserved seats) available. \n*There is limited seating at the venue\, you may purchase supporter level tickets to reserve seats.
