• WATCH: A Night of International Queer Writing at the Rally Reading Series

    Starring Nazlı Karabıyıkoğlu, R. Joseph Dazo, John Bengan, Giovanna Cristina Vivinetto, Danielle Pieratti, and Jeffrey Angles

    The Rally Reading Series and Words Without Borders celebrates a multilingual reading of queer writing from around the world, which launched WWB’s 11th annual Queer issue. Our exciting lineup includes Turkish writer Nazlı Karabıyıkoğlu; Filipino writer R. Joseph Dazo and translator John Bengan; Italian poet Giovanna Cristina Vivinetto and translator Danielle Pieratti; and Jeffrey Angles reads his translations of Japanese poet Mutsuo Takahashi’s work. The reading is followed by a Q&A.
