This will also be the official book release event for the anthology edited by host/curator Emanuel Xavier and published by El Museo del Barrio in collaboration with Rebel Satori Press. Featured contributors Myrna Nieves, Chris “Chilo” Cajigas, Lisa Alvarado, A. B. Lugo, LaTasha N.

Open the City: Drunken Boat, online journal of the arts, along with the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, announce a call for works in a variety of media (poems, artworks, essays, photography, translations, architectural blueprints, videos, web work, mixed media, documentary, theatrical production) that respond to the question of Asian and Middle Eastern-American populations in urban spaces. These can take a particular city as point of departure, can verge to cities around the world, engaging with the notion of how the forces of displacement and accretion intersect to create identity in a particular environment. We envision Chinatown, Little India, mosques in metropolitan areas, ethnic groceries, foreign film theaters, etc. all as possible sites for investigation. Deadline TBA.
Join DB10′s Harriet Levin at the The Grolier Poetry Book Shop for a book signing of her new collection Girl in Cap and Gown.
