A Room of One’s Own is thrilled to welcome Claire Wahmanholm and K. Iver for a poetry reading from each of their books Meltwater and Short Film Starring My Beloved’s Red Bronco
Claire Wahmanholm
Claire Wahmanholm is the author of Meltwater, Redmouth, and Wilder, which won the Lindquist & Vennum Prize for Poetry and the Society of Midland Authors Award for Poetry, and was a finalist for the 2019 Minnesota Book Award.
K. Iver
K. Iver is a nonbinary trans poet born in Mississippi. Their work has appeared in Boston Review, Gulf Coast, The Adroit, TriQuarterly, and elsewhere.
A haunting collection that inhabits a disquieting future where fear is the governing body, “the organ and the tissue / and the cell, the membrane and the organelle.”
Short Film Starring My Beloved’s Red Bronco, selected by Tyehimba Jess for the Ballard Spahr Prize for Poetry, is an aching tribute to the power and precarity of queer love.
