Chances are you’ve read Trish’s poetry that “makes a perfect mess of so much human experience that's been too tidily categorized” (Michael V. Smith). Drawing on personal history and theory, anthropological and psychoanalytic archives, her lyric and language poetry has been your summer reading, we hope.

Featuring writers who dismantle, disrupt, dispute, reclaim, resist and recreate gender across genre, including Metonymy Press author Trish Salah.

Come hear a little bit of anything and everything from a mix of great authors, including Metonymy Press's jiaqing wilson-yang.
