Join the Book Launch Celebration Reading of Edward Gunawan’s The Way Back, featuring local poets Noun Abdelaziz and Dawn Angelicca Barcelona.
Winner of 2022 Start a Riot! Chapbook Prize and published by Foglifter Press, Gunawan’s hybrid collection of prose and poetry navigates the choppy post-colonial cross-currents of identity, sexuality, and transnationality — to invite all of us to chart our own true course back to self, to home, to love…
