Following up on my last post, here are some photos of my performance in Milan: http://nancyagabian.com/?page_id=50 (You have to scroll down a little to see the series.)
Also, I’ll be presenting my work at the Associated Writing Programs Conference in Washington DC. Saturday, February 5, 1:30 pm:
| Thurgood Marshall North Room Marriott Wardman Park, Mezzanine Level |
S175. Kin: Mixed-Genre of Color. (Ahimsa Timoteo Bodhrán, Linda Hogan, Deborah A. Miranda, Ching-In Chen, Nancy Agabian, vaimoana litia makakaufaki niumeitolu) Artistic traditions of color precede, intersect with, and inform European forms, but too often are ignored in discussions of the avant-garde. This is especially unfortunate when we see the long traditions and volume of work being produced that buck against, exist outside of, and hybridize Eurocentric conventions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and theater. Europeans are not the only innovators, and what mixed-genre writers of color produce is both highly crafted and highly traditional. |
and I’ll be reading new work in Queens on Wednesday, February 9, 7 pm
as part of the new Coffee and Commas series
in a program titled “It Could Have Been” (a different take on the Valentine’s theme)
with Alia Akkam, Rena Bonne, Dennis Borowsky, Audrey Dimola, Beatriz Gil, Robert Trabold, KC Trommer
at Cafe Marlene
41-11 49th Street
(between Skillman and 43th Ave)
Sunnyside, NY 11104
I’m really happy to be part of these communities of writers. If you’re in the vicinity, I would love to welcome you into the discussion…
