Flesh and Bone: Stories About the Body
I could dedicate myself to writing about my body for the rest of my life, and I would still have so many questions. Preparing for this reading, Generation Women, helped me to ventilate just one cupboard, encouraging me to question and vocalize a piece of who/what I am.
Join me and five other incredible voices: Spring Kwok, Nicole Ferraro, Beth Lisick, Gayle Kirschenbaum, and Judith Katz representing humans in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s.
