Bean Lecture Poetry Reading with Rage Hezekiah
In Person
Additional Information:
Rage Hezekiah is the author of Yearn (Winner of the 2021 Diode Editions Book Contest and 2023 Lamba Literary Best Lesbian Poetry Nominee), Stray Harbor (2019), and Unslakable ( 2018 Vella Chapbook Award Winner).
She is a Cave Canem, MacDowell, and Ragdale Fellow and recipient of the Saint Botolph Emerging Artist Award in Literature and nominee for Best New Poets of 2017.
The word is ‘yearn.’ Not ‘yearning’—not that soft. Yearn. A command. A dare. The poet’s directive to herself and to us, Reader. Do you want to feel your body alight & vibrating? Yearn. Rage Hezekiah’s poems walk that walk, show—in stunning images, in did-she-say-that? word-witchery—a woman making her desires known to herself, so she can step out to meet the life she wants to live.
- Evie Shockley, author of semiautomatic
