Reading
Bob Holman + Frank Rubino
Friends, family, fans, and collaborators of the late Fanny Howe join in celebration of the great American poet and protector of the mystics of the future. Remembrances of Howe will be shared alongside readings of her work, with words from Kazim Ali, Sarah Callery, Peter Gizzi, Mark Patrick Hederman, Laura Henriksen, Dawn Lundy Martin, Eileen Myles, Linda Norton, Issa Quincy, Rachelle Rahmé, Ariana Reines, and Eleni Sikelianos. Books and zines by and about Howe will be present, thanks to Divided Publishing, Graywolf Press, Nightboat Books, Rachelle Rahmé, Semiotext(e), and Worms Magazine—including a first look at This Poor Book, completed just before Howe’s death (Graywolf Press, 2026).
Fan Faire is co-organized by Rachelle Rahmé, Hard to Read, Chase Bell, and Ariana Reines.

“Over the years I have written during days just like these, when there was snow, or cold, and some sense of safety and enclosure. More often I have written on the road in the middle of children, crowds at train stations, airports, motels, bus depots, in offices and schoolyards.”
—Fanny Howe, Night Philosophy (Divided Publishing, 2020)
