Writers Night Out June

Join us on Tuesday, June 7 from 7-9pm for Writers Night Out with featured writer Magdalena Gómez at the Michelson Gallery in Northampton, MA. This is the first in-person WNO since spring of 2020. So let’s celebrate in gratitude of being able to get back together and see and listen to one another in-person!

Bio: Magdalena Gómez is Poet Laureate of Springfield, MA, where she co-founded Teatro V!da, a performing arts collective; she is also an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow, the author of Shameless Woman (Red Sugarcane Press) and the co-editor of Bullying: Replies, Rebuttals, Confessions, and Catharsis (Skyhorse, 2012). In 2019 she received the Latinas 50 Plus Literature Award at Fordham University, and the Latinx Excellence on the Hill Award from the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus of MA at the State House. The nationally acclaimed musical, Dancing in My Cockroach Killers, based on a dozen of her poems, has been performed in Los Angeles, DC, Massachusetts, and Off-Broadway in New York City. Her memoir noir, from which she will be reading this evening, Mi’ja was released in May of this year, by Heliotrope Books in New York City. You can visit Magdalena at www.latinapoet.com
