Gabrielle Calvocoressi Poetry Reading

For the past 20 years, Gabrielle Calvocoressi has crafted compelling poetry that centers queer loneliness, linguistic innovation, bodily awareness, mental health, and the loss of loved ones. In their newest release, The New Economy (Copper Canyon, 2025), Calvocoressi highlights complex social tensions underpinning American community life, exploring feelings of isolation, disconnection with the body and grief alongside their drive to invent ecstatic new possibilities for queer life. Followed by conversation with Leila Chatti. Books available for sale & signing follows. Free & open to the public. Livestream also available on the BDPC YouTube page.
