Jai Hamid Bashir and Jennifer Funk Poetry Reading followed by conversation with Adrie Rose

“Surely the world can be remade/with salt and skin and hours taken from the same clock/begging us back to our rightful places” writes Jennifer Funk, whose poetry delves into domesticity, reclamation, and yearning. Jai Hamid Bashir unravels the nuances of being Pakistani-American through a multilingual lens, writing: “Hawks take back the air—/and fill fevered throats with mother’s milk. Ma says drink/this in Urdu.” These poets will be in conversation with Adrie Rose following their readings. Books will be sold and a signing will follow. Free and open to all! Livestreams on BDPC Facebook and YouTube.
