SUMMARY:Bluff: A Reading and Audience Edit of New Work by Danez Smith
DESCRIPTION:Bluff: A Reading and Audience Edit of New Work by Danez Smith is powered by TruArtSpeaks and extends the feedback loop between artist and audience akin to how our open mic series Reverb works\, but this time with a focus on one artist and one project. Danez Smith’s upcoming collection of poems\, Bluff\, deals with many intersections of home and language\, be that home in the body\, amongst their immediate family\, or in the occupied land known as the Twin Cities. For one evening\, Danez will share work from their upcoming collection and have an open editing session and conversation with the audience aka the local community who populates those poems\, seeking to get their neighbors opinions on poems that very much exist and breathe here. “For me\, it feels impossible to finish this collection without the necessary collaborators in the communities embodied in these poems” said Smith\, a Saint Paul native and internationally renowned writer. Come\, get a glimpse of Danez’s new work\, and add your voice to the editing of their next collection. \nDanez Smith’s forthcoming collection Bluff is slated for September 2024 \n\nDanez Smith is the author of three collections including Homie and Don’t Call Us Dead. For their work\, Danez was won the Forward Prize for Best Collection\, the Minnesota Book Award in Poetry\, the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry\, the Kate Tufts Discovery Award\, and have been a finalist for the NAACP Image Award in Poetry\, the National Book Critic Circle Award\, and the National Book Award. Danez’s poetry and prose has been featured in Vanity Fair\, The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, GQ\, Best American Poetry and on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Danez is a member of the Dark Noise Collective. Former co-host of the Webby nominated podcast VS (Versus)\, they live in Minneapolis near their people. \nSliding scale admission is available; please pay what you can and join us for this innovative approach to engaging with new work. \nFor questions or more information\, please email info@truartspeask.org \nPurchase Tickets Here!
