Reading
Kim Hyesoon with translator Don Mee Choi & Elizabeth Willis and Nancy Bowen
Writers Casey Plett and Joss Barton open The Poetry Project’s fall season in a tour-de-force demonstration of trans literary verve. Hailing from St. Louis and Chicago, Barton brings her DIY prowess and vivid, poignant lines to her first performance at St. Mark’s. Plett’s lyrical, haunting fiction animates a sharply class-conscious sense of trans life, linked across rural and urban communities from Brooklyn to Mennonite Canada. Fuck the moral panic: Plett and Barton are as severe and relentless in their writing as our moment requires.
We hope you can join us at 7 pm for a reception before the event!
