Tattered Cover is excited to welcome this fantastic panel of Mile-High social justice writers to our Colfax location on August 14th, 2024 at 6PM.
They will be discussing their contributions to the new book, We Can See Into Another Place: Mile-High Writers on Social Justice!
Join us and celebrate this fantastic anthology of local, multi-genre writers.
Five award-winning writers and writing professors based in the West will read original poetry and prose, collectively exploring the complexities of a diverse range of social justice-related topics: community, healthcare access, race, gender equity, gun violence, class, and neurodivergence. With subtlety, innovation, and keen imaginative sympathy, the readers will illuminate the themes that connect us all through the power of language.
The readers and the work featured in this event endeavor above all to bring together diverse BIPOC and LGBTQ voices in order to empower listeners to seek social change and engender healing during a time of extreme political, economic, and social uncertainty. More than ever, we need to use our words to soothe, unify, and heal rather than divide.
Registration includes a signed copy of the book and an opportunity to meet the authors.
