This looks like a really great event that I just found out about this morning. I’ve been meaning to see most of these writers for a long time! The website states:
What are the relationships between feminism, poetry and power? In a reading and performance, five American poets will define, discuss, question, subvert, celebrate and explode their varied feminist poetics.
