LINEAGE is a quarterly event honoring the relationships that sustain artists. Poets’ concerns, processes, and creations intersect, inform, support and challenge each other. In this reading series, one selected reader invites a mentor and a mentee to read alongside them, illuminating this sometimes subtle, sometimes urgent, golden thread of artistic lineage.
The seventh LINEAGE reading features Mónica de la Torre, Ted Dodson, and xesxa despentes.
LINEAGE is organized by emily brandt and hosted by Wendy's Subway.
