SUMMARY:GAY POEMS FOR RED STATES reading with Willie Edward Taylor Carver Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Please join Milkweed Books in hosting poet Willie Carver as he reads from his debut poetry collection GAY POEMS FOR RED STATES. \nWillie Edward Taylor Carver Jr. is an advocate\, a Kentucky Teacher of the Year\, and the author of a bestselling collection of narrative poetry about his childhood growing up queer in Appalachia\, Gay Poems for Red States (University Press of Kentucky). Carver’s work exists at the intersection of queer identity\, Appalachian identity\, and the politics of innocence. \nWillie is a candidate for the MFA in poetry at the University of Kentucky. He publishes and presents on the subjects of education\, marginalization\, and identity\, and his story has been featured on ABC\, CBS\, PBS\, NPR\, and in The Washington Post\, Le Monde\, and Good Morning America. His story was chosen by Jonathan Van Ness as a story to share for education\, and his advocacy has led him to engage President Biden and to testify before the United States Congressional Committee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. His creative work has been published in 100 Days in Appalachia\, 2RulesofWriting\, Another Chicago Magazine\, Largehearted Boy Blog\, Smoky Blue Literary Magazine\, Miracle Monocle\, Good River Review\, and Salvation South\, where he is a feature poet of National Poetry Month.
