SUMMARY:Office Hours Poetry Workshop Craft Class with Catherine Barnett
DESCRIPTION:  \nOffice Hours Poetry Workshop presents: a FREE craft class and reading with Catherine Barnett. The craft class takes place from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Bureau. \nA public reading with Catherine Barnett\, Jen Levitt\, and Paco Marquez will follow from 1:30 PM-2:30 PM. \nSpaces for the craft class are limited to 15 persons so please RSVP in advance to sarahmariesala@gmail.com. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil in addition to your technological device in case of cross-genre prompts. \nImprov for Poets: In this workshop we’ll practice improvisational writing\, adapting theatrical exercises to our work on the page. We’ll also practice the energizing if at times uncomfortable art of not-knowing as we use the often under-explored resources of syntax to carry our poems into new territories. With supporting materials from Layli Long-Soldier\, Wislawa Szymborska\, Zbigniew Herbert\, Ellen Bryant Voigt\, Forrest Hamer\, William Carlos Williams\, Kathleen Peirce\, and Larry Levis. \nOffice Hours Poetry Workshop provides post-MFA poets access to continued support for manuscript-development and everyday writing. The workshop culminates in a public reading each fall and spring to showcase sizzling new work. We welcome all poets\, especially people of color\, LGBTQ+\, and those who are woman-identified. Our name derives from our side hustle. Many of us are freelance\, adjunct instructors\, who continue to thrive in the margins of academia. \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCatherine Barnett‘s third collection\, Human Hours\, was just published by Graywolf Press in early fall 2018. She is the author of Into Perfect Spheres Such Holes Are Pierced and The Game of Boxes\, winner of the James Laughlin Award of the Academy of American Poets. Her honors include a Whiting Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She teaches at NYU and Hunter and works as an independent editor in NYC. \n  \nJen Levitt is the author of The Off-Season (Four Way Books\, 2016). She received her MFA from NYU\, and her poems have appeared in Boston Review\, The Literary Review\, Sixth Finch\, Tin House and elsewhere. She lives in New York City and teaches high school students. \n  \nPaco Márquez is author of the chapbook Portraits in G Minor (Folded Word Press\, 2017). His work has appeared in Apogee\, Ostrich Review\, Live Mag! and Huizache\, among others. As Spanish Editor for William O’Daly\, he assisted in translating Pablo Neruda’s initial book\, Crepusculario\, for the first time into English\, Book of Twilight\, (Copper Canyon Press\, 2017). His work has been supported by New York University\, The Center for Book Arts\, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Originally from México and Northern California\, Paco lives in New York City with his partner of 12 years. More at: pacomarquez.net \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:LSTW magazine issue 3 NYC launch
DESCRIPTION: \nJoin us on Saturday\, December 1st from 7PM – 9:30PM at the Bureau of General Services-Queer Division in celebrating the launch of LSTW Issue 3!\n \nPublished annually\, LSTW is an intimate exploration of lesbian communities across Canada. The bilingual print magazine\, based in Montreal\, Quebec\, celebrates diverse and authentic queer voices from coast to coast to coast.\n  \nMeet founder & publisher Florence Gagnon and other members of the Lez Spread The Word team to discuss the creation of the magazine\, and its third issue\, which includes: An in-depth profile of Emmy-winning writer\, producer and actor Lena Waithe. Other highlights include an investigation into conversion therapy in Canada today\, a conversation between Muslim writers of color Fariha Róisín and Samra Habib\, a photo essay about Mexico City Pride and a look at how virtual reality is queering the porn industry.\n \nThe 230-page magazine is the result of efforts by more than 20 women keen to bring about positive change. Working from a desire to broaden access to LGBTQ+ communities\, lstw honors role models\, promotes diversity and shines a spotlight on lesbian culture in a new way.\n \n+ beauty bar at the event by @fluidebeauty! \n \nSuggested donation of $10 to benefit the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds.\n \nlstw‘s appeal transcends borders. The magazine is distributed in over 20 cities across North America and Europe\, with key retail sites that include Casa Bosques Mexico City\, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts\, magCulture London\, Athenaeum Nieuwscentrum Amsterdam\, Artbook @ Hauser & Wirth LA\, and McNally Jackson Books and Artbook @ MoMA PS1 in New York. \n \nLaunched in Montreal in 2012\, Lez Spread the Word is an LGBTQ+ organization devoted to producing content by and for queer women. Its first project was an eponymous news and entertainment website\, followed by the awardwinning web series Féminin/Féminin\, which aired on Radio-Canada in Quebec and France Télévisions in Europe\, and through Amazon and Hulu in the United States. A dramedy that looks at the intersecting lives of a dozen or so queer characters\, Féminin/Féminin recently wrapped its second season. Other notable initiatives include the bimonthly party Où sont les femmes?; #12\, a beer co-created with Montreal’s Brasserie Harricana; and the sold-out play Coco. In the fall of 2016\, Lez Spread the Word published the first issue of lstw\, a bilingual print magazine committed to fighting queer invisibility.\n \n  \n \n
