anti-capitalism

Summer resident Angel Dominguez reads poems rooted in ancestors and community as they protest colonialism, fascism, and gentrification. Dominguez first reads from across their published works: Black Lavender Milk (2015), RoseSunWater (2021), and Desgraciado (the collected letters) (2022). They close the reading with recent poems, including one written the night before the reading and others from a manuscript in progress titled Don't Tell My Mother If They Kill Me.

Susan Briante reads from 13 Questions for the Next Economy: New and Selected Works (2025). She primarily reads new poems from the collection that consider themes of anti-capitalism, revolution, and family. Collages included in the book are shown throughout. Briante opens with a poem by Farid Matuk, with whom this reading was originally given.
