About this Event
Join us for the launch of Psyche, a powerful poetry collection by Dr. Casey Catherine Moore that explores the rich intersections of Greco-Roman mythology, disability, and sexuality. Through evocative verse, Dr. Moore reimagines the Cupid & Psyche myth and other ancient stories, giving voice to the complexities of neurodivergence, love, and resilience. This collection invites readers to journey through a world where vulnerability and difference become strength, and every line dances with beauty and authenticity. Celebrate the release of Psyche and immerse yourself in the transformative power of language and storytelling. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with a vital new voice in contemporary poetry!
The event, hosted by Regie Cabico, will showcase readings from Psyche by Dr. Casey Catherine Moore and feature special guests Dr. Ricardo L. Ortiz, Micah the Poet, and C. Alexandria-Bernard Thomas. A book signing will follow.
Casey Catherine Moore (she/her) is a bipolar, bisexual poet, writing coach, and educator. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the University of South Carolina, where her research focused on Latin poetry, invective, and gender studies. Casey’s current work as a poet, performer, teaching artist, and writing coach centers gender, sexuality, and dis/ability and can be found in various academic and creative publications. Casey founded the queer and neurodivergent open mic series Electric Euphoria, co-produces and co-hosts the queer poetry/comedy series Homo Stanzas, and hosts open mics at Busboys and Poets at the Brookland location in Washington, D.C. Casey draws inspiration from the madness and beauty within herself, those she works with, and all the glorious complexity in nature and all around us.
