NEA Big Read 2020

NMMA’s Yollocalli Arts Reach is partnering with the American Indian Center of Chicago, Steppenwolf Education, Mujeres Latinas en Acción, The Newberry Library, and the Lozano Branch of the Chicago Public Library to offer a series of programs related to The Round House. Winner of the 2012 National Book Award for Fiction, The Round House by Louise Erdrich is set on the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota and tells the story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family. 

NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.

NEA Big Read 2020 was originally published on Yollocalli Arts Reach

Thinking about my privilege in preparation for my next play and thankful for Claudia Rankine’s Citizen for helping me put that into perspective. #playwriting #anabduction #workingtitle #citizen #neabigread #claudiarankine (at International Festival of Arts & Ideas)

Free books (please read Citizen)

Yesterday, at the kick-off event for Denver Talks, I got to stand outside and hand out free copies of a book I believe in to anyone who wanted one. It felt AMAZING.

Lighthouse, in conjunction with the Denver City Council and the NEA Big Read, is giving away free copies of Claudia Rankine’s brilliant, beautiful, and important book Citizen: An American Lyric. The next six weeks will be full of free workshops, art-making classes (including a poem box class I’m teaching, more on that later), discussions, readings, and more, culminating on a free talk by Claudia Rankine on November 15.  More info is available at the Denver Talks site.

If you want a free copy of the book, they’re available at Redline Gallery, Coffee at the Point, and other places.
