A presentation of the Bryant Park Reading Room featuring the poets of Sibling Rivalry Press: Bryan Borland, Seth Pennington, Collin Kelley, D Period Gilson, Joanna Hoffman, Matthew Hittinger, and Stephen Mills.
Founded in 2010, Sibling Rivalry Press is an independent publishing house based in Alexander, Arkansas. Our purpose is best defined by the incomparable Adrienne Rich, who said to Michael Klein in a 1999 interview:
"There’s a lot of what I would call comfortable poetry around. But then there is all this other stuff going on — which is wilder, which is bristling; it’s juicier, it’s everything that you would want. And it’s not comfortable. That’s the kind of poetry that interests me — a field of energy. It’s intellectual and moral and political and sexual and sensual — all of that fermenting together. It can speak to people who have themselves felt like monsters and say: you are not alone, this is not monstrous. It can disturb and enrapture."
Our mission, therefore, is to publish work that disturbs and enraptures
At Bryant Park, we'll showcase the work we've published and the authors who represent our press. All are welcome. This event is free to the public.
