Philly Book Launch for KOKUMỌ‘s Reacquainted With Life

Monday, April 17, 2017 7:00 pm-9:00 pm
[ Wooden Shoe Books and Records, 704 South Street ]

KOKUMỌ's poetry, is what happens when survivors spit sperm and other bodily excretions in the face of those who abuse them. KOKUMỌ's poetry, is what happens when Aunt Jemima becomes Rambo. KOKUMỌ's poetry, is what happens when the piece of shit you stepped in, corporealizes then knocks you the fuck out. And no! Resilience, has never sounded sexier.

KOKUMO has been nominated for a Lambda Award, and to celebrate she is touring the east coast, and reading with sensational queer/trans/poc/feminist authors from Baltimore to Boston. Come and get Reacquainted With Life this April.

Hosted by Topside Press, this event also features performances by Alex Smith, JD Stokely (ACG '16), Kavi Ade (LTA '16), M Eighteen Téllez (LTA '15, ACG '14), and Jai Arun Ravine (ACG '16).
