Inspiring humans alert! Former Seattleite, formidable poet, genre-crossing artist, TEDx speaker, and podcaster Anastacia-Reneé (whew!) will drop by Portland in celebration of Side Notes from the Archivist: Poems, a funky, feminist new collection that illuminates Black femme culture through coming-of-age poems set in '80s Philly. ("The deft tonal shifts of Anastacia-Reneé’s words and delivery amuse, disarm and devastate," says the Seattle Times.) Somali writer, educator, and community organizer Jamila Osman, who "has taught creative writing from Portland to Palestine," will join Anastacia-Reneé for a far-reaching conversation.
