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 Wilder, Redmouth, and, most recently, Meltwater, which was a finalist for the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, the Minnesota Book Award, and was a National Book Award Science + Literature selection. A McKnight Writing Fellow and the winner of the Montreal International Poetry Prize, she lives in the Twin Cities.
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.
