Reema Zaman in Conversation With Lidia Yuknavitch

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

For too long, through the most intimate acts of erasure, women have been silenced. Now, women everywhere are breaking through the limits placed on us by family, society, and tradition. To find our voices. To make space for ourselves in this world. Now is the moment to reclaim what was once lost, stolen, forsaken, or abandoned. Reema Zaman’s I Am Yours (Amberjack) is about Zaman’s fight to protect and free her voice from those who have sought to silence her, for the sake of creating a world where all voices are welcome and respected. Because the voice, without intimacy, will atrophy. Zaman will be joined in conversation by Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan.

Lilly Dancyger With Reema Zaman, Marissa Korbel & Dani Boss Wilson

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Women are furious, and we're not keeping it to ourselves any longer. We're expected to be composed and compliant, but in a world that would strip us of our rights, disparage our contributions, and deny us a seat at the table of authority, we're no longer willing to quietly seethe behind tight smiles. We're ready to burn it all down. In Burn It Down (Seal), a ferocious new collection of essays, 22 writers explore how anger has shaped their lives. Burn It Down editor Lilly Dancyger will be joined in conversation by contributors Reema Zaman, Marissa Korbel, and Dani Boss Wilson.
