A multidisciplinary gathering of authors explores what it means to live, write, and be in community with other writers in Brooklyn. “Stories from Brooklyn” brings together graphic novelists, poets, fiction writers, and essayists to discuss how the borough of Brooklyn inspires writing practice, encourages original literary work, supports writers and independent publishing, but can also feel exclusive of emerging voices. Featuring writers Bishakh Som, Bernard Ferguson, Ghinwa Jawhari, John Dermot Woods, and Sasha Fletcher, the event will be moderated by Margot Atwell, Executive Director of Feminist Press.
Location: The City Reliquary, 370 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211
