Braving the Body Book Launch

Date May 8, 2024
Time 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Location

HOSTED IN THE BETSY LIBRARY

 

Join us for the Miami launch of Braving the Body followed by an Open Mic.

Hosted by SWWIM and editor Nicole Callihan, contributors will share poems from this new anthology (Harbor Editions, 2024), followed by attendee selected poems about "braving the body."

Braving the Body reflects on the experience of living in a body. What does it mean to be in a body which can both betray us and bring us ecstasy–a suffering body, a mothering body, a body in its “prime,” a body in the midst of change, a body which has experienced trauma or neglect, a body which is simply trying to get its morning coffee or move out the door? What stories of our bodies can we share which will offer healing and restoration, not just for ourselves but for the world?

With readings by Nicole Callihan, Jen Karetnick, Caridad Moro-Gronlier, Dustin Brookshire, Iris Jamahl Dunkle, and YOU - sharing Brave Body Stories at the Open Mic.
