Join Milkweed author Priyanka Kumar as she reads her poetry from the New Mexico Poetry Anthology.
Two hundred original, previously unpublished poems explore themes such as community, culture, history, identity, landscape, and water. From a diverse group of poets, the poems are introspective and personal; reflective and astute; steady and celebratory. Including poignant, unique, even humorous perspectives on life in New Mexico influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, this collective of voices serves as a welcome remedio to all aspects of post-pandemic life, for ears aching for words of beauty, strength, and solace as we emerge from the cocoon of survivability.
This will be an in-store event and live streamed to Zoom, register here for Zoom. After the reading, there will be a Q&A and book signing. Signed copies of the anthology will be for sale after the event as well.
