We're at @FranklinParkBK! Here's @BrianBurnbomb from @DeadRabbitsBKS kicking off our special, collaborative reading.
Last Saturday, we got to listen to four brilliant writers who make us proud of the literary community every day.
We bear so much gratitude to @avwusesherwords, @righteoustpoet, @taniapa and @samira_sadeque for helping the Angry Reading family grow.
"Elsa absolves you of all your sins / the ones you committed against her / and the ones you would if you had the chance"
- @avwusesherwords 馃敟
"Do you find me smart and pretty? Loud and pretty? Pretty or not pretty?"
- @avwusesherwords
"We met during one of my manic episodes before I knew what mania was"
@TaniaPabon is up next with the goods!
"I was applying for colleges when my Dad was in rehab / I wanted to put more distance between us"
@RighteousTPoet is absolutely wrecking us!
"Is there no Hall of Fame for people like me?"
@RighteousTPoet kick-starts An Angry Reading Series S2 E2
Tonight! We have @Samideque, @avwusesherwords, @RighteousTPoet, and @TaniaPabon reading some searing, burning works of writing at @Grill_OnTheHill up in Harlem. We begin at 8pm, but catch us there from 7, sipping on beers, being friends.
Our second reader, errybody: Originally from San Juan, @TaniaPabon holds an M.A. in English Literature from the University of Puerto Rico, and an M.F.A. from @slcwriting. Her work has appeared in @EntropyMag, @PigeonPagesNYC, @The_Rumpus & @CosmoAvenue, among others.
Our first reader: @Samideque is a Bangladeshi journalist & poet, writing on immigration, mental health, gender. Her work appears on @buttonpoetry & in @nodearmagazine, @active_muse, @infullcolorUS, among other publications.
Couple of things:
1. We're back this Saturday with these fantastic writers. We're so pumped to welcome @samideque, @TaniaPabon, Dom Bradley, @avwusesherwords, and @RighteousTPoet
to our family.
2. We're also ready to party with some angry literature.
