The Magnolia Tree Gazing – A Celebration of Queer Poetics

The Celebration of Queer Poetics Anthology Project is a poetry anthology and workshop series reflecting the diverse queer voices forming Bay Area Literary Landscape. This artisan made book grew from a six-week generative poetry workshop crafted by Lourdes Figueroa in the Mission District, focusing on bipocx queer poetics offering a tender space to explore and create poetry. The printed anthology is a collaboration between Lourdes Figueroa, The Celebration of Queer Poetics Workshop, and Murciélago Prensa, Cinthia Marisol Lozano Garcia Amaya.

Join us for a night of love and ternura to celebrate the first volume of this anthology and hear the work created by workshop poets Juju Martinez, María Esquinca, Maribel Martínez, Melí Gómez, Michelle Ngô, and Zander Moreno.

Organized by: Galería de la Raza
