Join us for an evening of poetry featuring visiting TWANG Anthology poets Brody Parrish Craig and Calypso Jane Selwyn and local writer Izzy Wasserstein.

Originally from Louisiana, Brody Parrish Craig attended Hollins University where they received their B.A. in English & French. They recently completed their M.F.A. degree in Creative Writing at the University of Arkansas in Poetry where they began writing their first manuscript, a collection of hybrid poems inspired by queer phenomenology, the Bible Belt, & recovery.
