Cultivating Voices LIVE with Allison Blevins and Braving the Body
Virtual Reading featuring Allison Blevins and the editors of Braving the Body and select contributors
Boston Book Festival
Join two of the coeditors of a new poetry anthology, Braving the Body (Harbor Editions, 2024) that Dawn Lundy Martin calls “astonishing.” Martin states, “after these 116 poems—at times achingly visceral, at others necessarily light-filled—you’ll wonder how you ever thought a body was a thing you knew.” Pichchenda Bao and Jennifer Franklin will lead participants through generative writing prompts inspired by a series of poems in the anthology by Diane Seuss, Ellen Bass, Fred Marchant, Martha Collins, Iain Haley Pollock, Kim Addonizio, and Caridad Moro-Gronlier.

No, You Tell It
I’m one of the story coaches for this event. I’m so excited to work with these writers!
No, YOU Tell It! (noyoutellit.com) is a nonfiction series where storytellers first work together to turn out true tales, then swap stories to embody each other’s experiences.
For this special Brooklyn Book Festival Book End Event, four storytellers who write for the page and the stage have worked together to develop true stories inspired by the theme “Punch Up.”
Storytellers (pictured left to right): Jenn Wehrung, Aida Zilelian, Matt Storrs, and Maria Rubio
Come watch as step into each other’s stories. Plus, a chance to win the No, YOU Tell It! Ten-Year Anthology. Follow us @noyoutellit for more!
