Reading: Influence and In-Fluency with Tonya M. Foster, Samiya Bashir and Tracie Morris
May 7, 2025, 6:30 pm
at Skylight Room 9100 at the CUNY Graduate Center

The 2024 collection Other Influences: An Untold History of Feminist Avant-Garde Poetry asks contemporary poets to consider their own lineages, influences and inspirations. Using this framing, three poets, Tonya M. Foster, Samiya Bashir and Tracie Morris will read from their work and consider how they extend their work outward and onward to writing communities and beyond. The reading and conversation will be introduced and moderated by poets and editors of Other Influences Marcella Durand and Jennifer Firestone. Books will be available at the event. Register here to attend.
