About Poems to Stage Dive to
The poetry chapbook Poems to Stage Dive examines the journey of self-acceptance and queer joy through the often hostile environment of hardcore punk music and live shows. Poems to Stage Dive to captures the exhaustion and exhilaration of the pit, of stage-diving, and falling to be caught. It is a tough and tender ode to reveling in the anonymity and tacit pacts of the pit alongside the simultaneous brutality and blessing of queerness.
About Book Club
This is no run-of-the-mill book club. Visiting writers will read excerpts, join the discussion, and answer your questions about craft, process, the publishing industry, and getting advice for our own writing! We’ll hang and eat snacks with the authors and escape your doomscrolling.
Poetry Book Club will meet on Zoom every second Wednesday of the month with a new poet.
Fiction Book Club will meet every third Sunday of the month in person at The Writer’s Center with a new author.
Come build community and read amazing books that the Big 5 didn’t have the sense to publish!
If you need an accommodation for this event, please contact us at access@writer.org. We will attempt to fulfill all requests, but advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility services.
