Event Description

Vivid and immersive, this night of poetry explores the negative space and electric potential of the off-limits, the outskirts, the interstices. Jody Chan, Leanne Dunic, Zehra Naqvi and Jaz Papadopoulos are rising-star voices who showcase how poetry can expand our awareness and possibilities. Their new, critically acclaimed books explore a vast terrain, including giving birth to a self in multiple languages and dimensions, defying psychiatric diagnoses and imposed identities and the search for breathable air and the body’s awakening. This reading and conversation, hosted by poet Melanie Siebert, will delve into the materials and methods of poetry that is both transgressive and transformative. Join us for a perennial favorite of the festival.




Moderated by Melanie Siebert

Curated by Planet Earth Poetry
