Rosa Lane, queer poet, will read from her 4th poetry collection, Called Back, a title memorializing the last two words Emily Dickinson wrote, winner of the 2025 Maine Literary Poetry Book Award. Her poems give voice to the LGBTQ+ dimension of one of America’s greatest poets, which draws from most recent research by Dickinson scholars. Pulitzer finalist Henri Cole had this to say about Called Back: “What marvelous, feral, eccentric, sweetly erotic poems [that]…illuminate–with electrifying language –the shadows of human love.” [www.rosalane.com]. Stephen Haven will join Rosa and read from his latest work, The Flight from Meaning, which contains meditations on American History, on the nature of religion in our time, and on racism and its legacy in the post-Civil Rights era. T. R. Hummer in praise of Stephen’s work had this to say: “Stephen is a poet of incisive discipline deployed in the service of a passionate, humanistic ethos.” [www.stephenhaven.com]

Movement, Breath, & Meditation class for people who love and support their gender-expansive loved ones
2025-11-15 15:00 - 16:30 | Virtual
When someone we love shares more of who they truly are, it changes the people around them too. Over the past four months, Kesha (she/her/ella), a parent to a gender-expansive adult child, has been holding an 8-week group for parents, guardians, chosen family, and friends.
In this small, relational space, participants explore simple movement, breath, and rest practices while tending to their own shifting experiences. It’s not about performance, expectation, or “fixing” anything, it’s about noticing, connecting, and being with others walking a similar path.
The next group begins November 15, 2025. If you or someone you know might benefit, Kesha welcomes questions and conversation.
This is a space built on care, listening, and shared humanity, one that grows from the courage of gender-expansive folks and the communities that support them.
8-week series
Dates: 11/15, 11/22, no class 11/29, 12/6, 12/13, 12/20, no class 12/27, 1/3, 1/10, 1/17
