Book Launch Event: Queer & Feminist Poetry Anthology
Omschrijving:
Join the book launch of the 1st Queer & Feminist Poetry Anthology by Unwanted Words at WORM Rotterdam. This book is a compilation of texts written by selection of 50 poets and artists based in the Netherlands whose works discuss topics of feminism and the queer experience from an intersectional perspective, centering on diversity and embracing BIPOC voices.
