Washington DC: OutWrite Presents ‘Persistent Voices’ @ The DC Center
Event Details: OutWrite Presents 'Persistent Voices' @ The DC Center - The DC Center: Thursday, December 10
This Thursday OutWrite presents editor Philip Clark reading from his new anthology Persistent Voices: Poetry by Writers Lost to AIDS. Forty-five of the most admired poets who died of AIDS are remembered in this new and groundbreaking collection
From Reinaldo Arenas, Tory Dent, and James Merrill to Paul Monette, Essex Hemphill, and Joe Brainard, Persistent Voices memorializes these poets and many others by presenting their work—often dealing with AIDS but also about other enduring topics—in the context of an unending epidemic that has profoundly affected our literature.
The editors’ advance and all royalties from this book will go to the PEN Fund for Writers and Editors with AIDS.
