We will have a feature from TaneshaNicole Poetry. TaneshaNicole is a Black queer non-binary poet living in the Twin Cities, MN by way of Salt Lake City, UT. They are a Pisces and it shows. TaneshaNicole has represented venues in national competitions such as CUPSI IWPS, WOWPS, and most noteably NPS where they placed 4th overall with their team. Tanesha serves as Button Poetry’s Live Events Coordinator. In their spare time they can be found lounging with their partner Anni and beloved kitten Mewspresso. Their work has appeared or is forthcoming in Button Poetry, SLCC Bruin Voices Series, Write About Now, TEDx, Voicemail Poems, peculiar, Ink&Nebula, Prickly Pear Printing, and more.
A quick run down of Zoom: click the link we’ve shared, register, and that will give you access to the Zoom chat space on the 25th. During the show the host will keep everyone except the person currently reading muted – and then will unmute everyone for 5 seconds after poems are over for everyone to cheer.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to seeing your faces on all our laptops / phones this Thursday evening.
