Reading - NYC on Saturday, London (Goldsmiths) next Wednesday with DarkMatter
two super exciting readings
:: really pleased to be reading in NYC again, in the company of some of the poets whose work has kept my writing alive in the past year. Will have copies of my new pamphlet '[of sirens / body & faultlines]', which I'll try to get online in a few weeks.
:: then back home to New Cross for the company of DarkMatter & some vicious trans poc critique.

Thursday 11th June
DarkMatter, #ItGetsBitter, Goldsmiths College, London
Darkmatter + Nat Raha
#TBT back to when we were told as queer youth that it was supposed to “get better.” What they forgot to tell us is that gay rights are often only for gay whites! With an increase in racist and queerphobic violence and a state that uses our bodies to advance its imperialist agenda at home and abroad, what’s become apparent is that LGBT rights have become co-opted. JOIN DarkMatter for a night of poetry, polemic, and healing as we not only critique -- but also imagine new queer futures. Show followed by Q&A.
6pm
Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths College, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 venue is wheelchair accessible.
