Avery R. Young Book Release Party: “Neckbone: Visual Verses”

June 19, 2019 @ 7:00 pm

Free

Join us for a Juneteenth book release celebration of neckbone: visual verses by acclaimed artist avery r. young.

The “blk alter” of avery r. young’s poetic vision makes its stunning debut in a multidisciplinary arsenal forming a new language of poetry that engages and challenges readers to see beyond the traditional spaces poems are shaped and exist. Young’s neckbone extends the tentacles in literature, art, and activism–redefining the collective and the sermon of the “blk” experience.

The evening will be a celebration of poetry, music, and all things “blk”!
