Poets Kim Stafford, Francesca Bell, & Nastashia Minto
June 20, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeKim Stafford’s new collection, Wild Honey, Tough Salt (Red Hen), offers a prismatic view of Earth citizenship – with testaments for world community, spells for peace, earth blessings, and family consolations. Unapologetically sensual and forthright, Francesca Bell’s Bright Stain (Red Hen) explores desire, loss, faith, doubt, tenderness, and violence; and sex as experience, metaphor, and magnifying lens for relationships. In her poetic memoir, Naked (Eldredge), Nastashia Minto strips herself of who she used to be and gives readers permission to see her naked – exploring topics of family, faith, race, sexuality, abuse, love, and identity.
