New Voices in Poetry: Elisa Gonzalez & Jae Nichelle

Portland'5 Brunish Theatre 111 SW Broadway Ave, Portland, OR

Elisa Gonzalez dramatizes the mind in motion as it grapples with something more than an event: she writes of a whole life, to transcendent effect. Jae Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman to courageously confront the effects of a forced religion and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body. Marisa Siegel moderates.
