Kenzie Allen Poetry Reading

Poet Kenzie Allen writes with a captivating, unpredictable authenticity in her debut collection, Cloud Missives (Tin House, 2024), unpacking the fetishized stereotype of the Indigenous woman which has been burned into American media. In Cloud Missives, Allen introduces an unashamed, radical reclamation of self— a progression of confessional poetry that is now more crucial than ever. Allen’s reading will be followed by a conversation with Michael Mercurio. Books available for sale & signings follow. Free & open to the public. Livestream also available on the BDPC YouTube page.
