In celebration of Splendor: Trans Poets (September 1, Two Lines Press), Green Apple Books on the Park is hosting a trans poetry night featuring the work of Québécois poet Pascale Bérubé, read by her translators Andrew Wilson and Jana Vourgourakis. Their readings from the collection will be complemented by readings from Alexis N. Garcia and Mukethe Kawinzi, as well as an introduction from Sarah Coolidge, editor of Splendor and of the Calico series from Two Lines Press.

About Splendor: Trans Poets

Introducing readers to five trans and nonbinary poets, Splendor is an ode to queer bodies, with previously unpublished translations from Argentina, Denmark, Korea, Norway, and Quebec. From the irreverent and irresponsible to the quiet and meditative, these poems decentralize our ideas of trans experience and poetics.
