I'm delighted to announce that we're kicking off The Rumpus' new reading series, Sapphic Storytelling, with an event TONIGHT in NYC at 7pm at McNally Jackson Books (Seaport location). We'll get to hear readings from Carley Moore, imogen xtian smith, and Alicia Mountain. Register here or at the door.
We've also got August (8/18) and September readings scheduled. These summertime events will all be held in NYC at McNally and w/ Feminist Press, but the series will be traveling around the country for a few more Sapphic Storytelling events this year (hello, Asheville, NC!).

| ICYMI: Our book clubs have migrated to Crowdcast! Subscribers receive a private passcode to watch and ask questions during the live conversation with that month's author and a Rumpus editor. In case you can't make the event, we keep the video available to subscribers through the end of the month. |

POETRY BOOK CLUB
Your Emergency Contact has Experienced an Emergency by
Chen Chen.
In his highly anticipated second collection, Chen Chen continues his investigation of family, both blood and chosen, examining what one inherits and what one invents, as a queer Asian American living through an era of Trump, mass shootings, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
