Evie Shockley Poetry Reading followed by conversation with Yona Harvey

Evie Shockley’s "suddenly we" (Welseyan University Press, 2023) is a collection confronting recent years' watershed moments – from Black Lives Matter protests to the pandemic – while investigating how we might forge what she terms "new solidarities.” A National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize nominee, Shockley will be joined in conversation by Yona Harvey following the reading. Books will be sold at the event and a signing will follow. Free and open to all. Livestream also available on Boutelle-Day Poetry Center YouTube.
