A journey into black queer poetics through the music, poetry and performance works of self-identified black and queer artists from around the world. Kopano Maroga and Maneo Refiloe Mohale are two black queer cuties who have some questions about what constitutes so called blackness and so called queerness in the realm of poetics. How does identity sometimes operate as a doorway and, sometimes, a cliff? Is there a problem with falling? Is the falling The Poetic? And, most importantly, isn't all poetry GAY at the end fo the day?
 
Join us for a guided reading session of pre-prescribed materials that evoke the poetic as we unpack what it means to us to be this black and this queer at this particular moment in history.

The session will be conducted on zoom. An accompanying reader will be provided to you after registration roughly one to two weeks before the reading session
