Join poets Amanda Hawkins and Diannely Antigua at UpUp Books where they’ll read from their collections and discuss how poetry “cage[s] and cradle[s]” visceral truths. Hawkins’s forthcoming collection, When I Say the Bones I Mean the Bones(Wandering Aengus, 2025), “burns through themes of living, dying, of the spiritual, how human beings fit onto and into the earth.” Antigua’s Good Monster (Copper Canyon, 2024) “reckons with shame and her fallout with faith.” Both poets embrace darkness and ambiguity in their pursuit of spaces – bodily and otherwise – worthy of being called home.
