Queer Tales Book Club: Poetry Month

Join us for Queer Tales Book Club where we chat about books that are by and/or about LGBTQIA+ people. Reading is not required, and everyone is welcome.

We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm in the Nelson Room.

For this month, select a queer Arab American poet to read. Learn to pronounce their name. Consider sharing with the group a brief bio and a line or two from the poem you chose. At the March meeting, we pulled names out to randomly select poets. 

Here are some poets for you to pick from: 

Amir Rabiyah

Fatimah Asghar

Eli Tareq El-Bechelany Lynch

Tarik Dobbs

Andrea Abi-Karam

Kazim Ali

Marlin M. Jenkins

OR! Read If They Come For Us by Fatimah Asghar via Hoopla, TADL/MeLCat, or the Poetry Foundation.
