Here's a pair of new recordings from the influential Belladonna* Readings Series to get this first week of the new year off to a great start.
First, from September 22nd of last year, we have a book launch event for Kimberly Alidio’s book, : once teeth bones coral :, which took place over Zoom. James Loop provided introductions for the stellar line-up celebrating Alidio, which included Gabrielle Civil, Krystal Languell, cheena marie lo, and Anne Waldman.
Then, from December 8th, we have the latest In-Flux Zoom reading, featuring authors jay dodd and Cameron Awkward-Rich. Introductions for this event were provided by James Loop, Alma Valdez-Garcia, and Zoe Tuck.
Entering its twenty-second year, Belladonna* is "a reading series and independent press that promotes the work of women writers who are adventurous, experimental, politically involved, multi-form, multicultural, multi-gendered, impossible to define, delicious to talk about, unpredictable, and dangerous with language."
