SUMMARY:AWP 2020 | Fierce Lineage\, Poetic Agency: Women of Copper Canyon Press
DESCRIPTION:Updated March 3\, 2020:\nAfter much deliberation\, the team at Copper Canyon Press has decided not to attend the 2020 AWP conference in San Antonio. We made this difficult call out of an abundance of caution after consulting with each staff member who was scheduled to attend the conference\, as well as numerous Copper Canyon poets and fellow exhibitors. You can read our full statement here. \nAt this time\, the event will move ahead with Leila Chatti and Traci Brimhall. We will update this event with details as we learn more.  \n— \nReading from their own new and recent poetry collections while paying homage to a powerful lineage of female-identified poets\, a diverse lineup of Copper Canyon Press authors will share poems of survival and love\, desire and illness\, of bodies that move with agency and voices that speak with complexity. Each reader will present\, in addition to her own work\, one poem by an influential woman author from Copper Canyon’s 45+ year catalog. \n\nVictoria Chang (moderator)’s books are Obit\, Barbie Chang\, The Boss\, Salvinia Molesta\, Circle\, and Is Mommy? (picture book).
