Poetry Reading & Discussion: Anastacia-Reneé & Lynne Thompson
1:15 PM - 2:00 PM
Saturday, November 16
Poetry Tent
Anastacia-Reneé's hybrid collection Here in the (Middle) of Nowhere and Lynne Thompson's wild, historical Blue on a Blue Palette experiment with documentation, form, and subject. At the heart of both books is a study of women across known history and unknown universes. Religion and culture create new worlds, and femininity and race illustrate bold resilience. Thompson draws on the traditions of jazz and famous women poets, while Anastacia-Reneé uses sci-fi and flash fiction to bring her characters to the lyrical page. Join these inventive poets for a reading and conversation on where women find community across time and space.
