Poets Michelle Latavala and Maya Stein meet to read their work, using the theme of the reading ("mapping the unmappable" as a loose guide for which poems they'll choose to share. Interspersed with the readings will be an informal conversation in response to the poems, as well as the themes, concerns, ideas, and experiences that have risen up in the listening. There will be space to ask questions, too! (The theme for this event is inspired by a line in one of Michelle's poems, Migration by Plane Wings: "a migration fueled by earth / we are all losing, this animal body stuck / somewhere unmappable, like luggage / never loaded")
