Fierce Feminist poetry in celebration of queer icon Ariana Reines
Mairi
Madam Curie to Medea, Hellmouth, Death, Desire, Sappho.
Breathless and brilliant and utterly captivating, Ariana Reines has followed up Wave of Blood - a book of witnessing and pain by a Jewish poet reckoning with the Gaza genocide - with The Rose.
On April 16th we gather in the Pianodrome for readings from a book steeped in rage and irony, love and sex and divine magic. If you're a fan of Eileen Myles, CA Conrad, Sophia Hembeck, Maggie Nelson, or love a feminist poetry that's rich in humour, self awareness and social critique: then JOIN US FOR ARIANA REINES!
And in the meantime, we've rounded up some goodies by some of her friends and contemporaries to whet your apetites or lead you to your next read!
