Wendy Trevino and Zaina Alsous: November 19, 2020

The Poetry Center presents Wendy Trevino and Zaina Alsous, reading and in conversation. Poetry Center Mazza Writer in Residence for Fall 2020, Trevino reads poems from her first full-length book, Cruel Fiction (Commune Editions, 2018), with more recent work, from her home in San Francisco. Alsous, appearing from southern Florida, reads from her Etel Adnan Award-winning collection of poetry, A Theory of Birds (University of Arkansas Press, 2019), and shares a new unpublished poem from manuscript, “Apologies to the People in Yemen.” After the two poets read, they engage in an extended conversation, responding to questions from one another, the audience, and the emcee of this event, alex cruse.
