Join us for a reading and exhibit to celebrate the launch of the latest issue of Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review!
The keynote poet is Jonathan Moody, author of the award-winning Olympic Butter Gold (Northwestern University Press, 2015), exploring his coming-of-age experience during the evolution of American hip-hop culture. Reviewer Sequoia Maner touts Moody’s work as “funny, daring and imaginative.” The new issue also highlights an in-depth, thoughtful and candid interview of Moody by editor Ryan Sharp.
Other readers include: Ariana Brown, Robert Lunday, Jonelle Seitz, Ally Young, and Vanessa Zimmer-Powell. And in conjunction with our launch, featured artist Sabine Zimmer will talk about her art series on display Nov. 2 to Nov. 16 at Malvern Books. Zimmer’s artwork includes the iconic Route 66—a contemporary view of the Southwest against the backdrop of ancient lands.
