Pages II Poses: Set Your Tongue Free

Let Your Truth Run Wild!! "I used to think that neglecting to remember details about a person belonged to a minor class of offenses, like mixing up a name or forgetting someone’s trade. It belied a lack of attention. What is the harm, after all, of someone mistaking you for a virgin? But unawareness is not the same as refusing to see. There is plenty of harm in looking in a person’s direction and blurring your eyes until you see what you want to see, or until you see nothing at all.” ― Saraciea J. Fennell For this iteration of Pages II Poses, we will explore Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed edited by The Bronx's own Saraciea J. Fennell, founder of The Bronx Is Reading. Featuring an all-star cast of Latinx contributors, this anthology courses through an array of emotions and interrogates a spectrum of myths, memories, stereotypes, and stories. Join us as we navigate our individual and collective stories, ready to release what may be waiting at the tip of our tongues. You don't want to miss this one because we have... a SURPRISE in store for You!!! Pages II Poses isn’t your typical book club or movement class.
