We are very happy to host Fariha Róisín for a a reading and conversation around her most recent book of poetry: Survival takes a Wild Imagination.

I’m rolling my tongue
into a U-shape,

Fariha is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Ontario, Canada. She was raised in Sydney, Australia, and is based in Los Angeles, California. As a Muslim queer Bangladeshi, she is interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. Her work has pioneered a refreshing and renewed conversation about wellness, contemporary Islam, and queer identities, and has appeared in the New York Times, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Village Voice, and others.

You fuckers wanted this land so much
for this?

Looking forward to see you all on Thursday!

Pre-order the book here.

I learned magic by July,
my spine coiled.
