About this Event

In honor of Audre Lorde’s birthday (February 18) and Black History Month, celebrate an intergenerational lineage of "glocal" (global + local) Black queer feminist poets. Cheryl Clarke visits Chicago with a retrospective collection Archive of Style: New and Selected Poems and reads alongside Harmony Holiday, Natalia Molebatsi, and Nikki Patin. Through memory and across time, these four poets render dynamic and radical archives of desire, music, lineage, and style.

This event is presented in partnership with Northwestern University’s Performance Studies and Black Arts Consortium as part of the Poetry Foundation’s spring 2025 season, Power Lines.
