Hi all!
March is the month we've really changed. On March 29, when we would normally meet, we'll attend the CLC Kreisel Lecture by Vivek Shraya, online at 7 pm. On Wednesday, March 31, there is a CLC Brown Bag lunch online meeting with Cicely Belle Blain! Then that evening we'll meet to chat about her book, Burning Sugar at 7 pm. Kimiko Tobimatsu's book moves to November.
Here're the revised lineup:
January: The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya
February: Polar Vortex by Shani Mootoo
March: Burning Sugar by Cicely Belle Blain (on March 31) (March 29 attending lecture by Vivek Shraya)
April: Coconut by Nisha Patel and Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz
May: We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib
June: Fiebre Tropical by Juliana Delgado Lopera
July: Noopiming: The Cure for White Ladies by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
August: The Athena Protocol by Shamim Sarif
September: Scarborough by Catherine Hernandez
October: Like a Boy but Not a Boy by Andrea Bennett
November: Kimiko Does Cancer by Kimiko Tobimatsu and Keet Genitza and Iron Goddess of Mercy: A Poem by Larissa Lai
If you haven't attended such online lectures before now, I highly recommend it! I sat in on a lecture by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson a few nights ago where she talked about Noopiming. It was so informative and now I can't wait to read it even more than before!
