SUMMARY:Queer(y)ing Bodies - Texts On Trauma\, Transformation\, and Truth (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Queer poets\, E Kerr (they/he) and Billie R. Tadros (she/they)\, document their own lived experiences with identity\, embodiment\, and gender\, through both traditional and experimental poetic forms. Kayleb Rae Candrilli has said that the “tenderness” of Kerr’s debut collection trans [re]incarnation “is in lineage with a growing chorus of trans voices\, voices that demand space\, safety\, and softness\,” and Katie Manning says that the poems in Tadros’s most recent collection Graft Fixation “interrogate our understanding of bodies\, especially women’s bodies\, through collisions of language and form.” Join these poets for an afternoon of readings that queer and query the body. \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \n  \nSuggested donation to benefit the Bureau: $10. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without a donation. \n\nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @BGSQD \n  \n\n\nElias Kerr is a Transmasculine poet\, who writes under the pen name E Kerr. They graduated from the University of Scranton in 2023\, with a masters degree in occupational therapy\, and double minors in English and writing.
