Rebellion Box by Hollay Ghadery

After reading Jennifer Hosein’s gorgeous poetry collection, A Map of Rain Days, I knew I wanted to see if she’d blurb my collection, Rebellion Box. Her thoughtfulness—and the concomitant resplendence and caliginosity of her work—made me think that if anyone could understand living in contrasts, it would be her.
Lucky for me, this generous and astoundingly talented artist said yes.
What Jennifer had to say about Rebellion Box:
In Rebellion Box, Hollay Ghadery takes us on a captivating journey through womanhood, motherhood, a history that is “not in the past … taking up/space, everywhere.” Hold tight to this book, turn its pages, and see the days anew.
—Jennifer Hosein, A Map of Rain Days

This series aims to highlight the work of these poets and their works, which were not celebrated in person as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

This will be a free event.
Poet Kate Marshall Flaherty will be our MC for the evening.
