In Conversation: Tommy Pico and Joe Osmundson, Moderated by Angel Nafis
The Brooklyn Eagles present an evening with 2017 Brooklyn Public Library Fiction & Poetry Literary Prize winner Tommy Pico, in conversation with Joe Osmundson.
Moderated by writer Angel Nafis, both authors will discuss their latest books Junk and Inside/Out, which share themes of break-ups and Queer relationship dynamics.
Building on IRL and Nature Poem, Pico’s Junk is a book-length break-up poem that explores the experience of loss and erasure, both personal and cultural. Osmundson’s Inside/Out has been called “a haunting meditation on longing and making sense of lost love through the lens of a perpetual outsider” by Tanwi Nandini Islam, author of Bright Lines.
Angel Nafis is the author of BlackGirl Mansion (Red Beard Press/ New School Poetics, 2012). Her work has appeared in The BreakBeat Poets Anthology, The Rumpus, Poetry Magazine, Buzzfeed Reader and elsewhere.
Reception to follow. Registration for this event is required.
