So, the Moment of Change is almost here. It will be released at Wiscon, and I am organizing an open-mic reading to celebrate the anthology. You do not have to be a MoC contributor to participate in the open-mic reading! Everyone is welcome! Here is the description:

Come join the authors of the “The Moment of Change” for an open mic evening in celebration of the first-ever anthology of feminist speculative poetry! “The Moment of Change” is edited by Rose Lemberg and forthcoming from Aqueduct press, and includes poems by Ursula K. Le Guin, Nisi Shawl, Amal El-Mohtar, Delia Sherman, Vandana Singh. Bring your own feminist speculative poems to read, and join Rose Lemberg, Shira Lipkin, Sofia Samatar, and Alex Dally MacFarlene for an open mic extravaganza to celebrate the release of the anthology and feminist speculative poetry in general.

The reading will take place on Friday, May 25th, at 9:00–10:15 pm at Michelangelo’s near the Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin. For more information about Wiscon, visit their website.

If you are attending Wiscon and are a fan of speculative poetry, or are curious about it, please consider participating – and if you are so inclined, please spread the word!

UPDATE: THERE WILL BE COOKIES, BROWNIES AND ICE TEA AT THE READING. PLEASE COME!!
