These badass queer women writers will read from from their latest. Resident rebel poet Eileen Myles is joined by D.C. writer Jennifer Fink (a novelist and a queer Jewish mommy) as well as New York poet Iris Cushing at this FREE event at the new queer mecca in Manhattan,
The event title is taken from a Craig Epplin review of Myles:
"Consisting of moving parts and temporary precipitates, assemblages are necessarily incomplete. Against easy satisfaction, Myles enjoins us to dwell in our own incompletion." The same can be said for Fink and Cushing.
These writers play with language in a way that gets to a reality both within and beyond the words of their texts.
