Join us for readings, art talk and exhibit to celebrate Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review’s new issue Sunday, June 24, 2018, at 4 p.m. at Malvern Books, 613 W. 29th Street. Austin. Bring friends & join the free event, open to all.
Readings include Austin-area poets led by keynote poet Joe Brundidge, a frequent host and public speaker at Austin poetry scenes for nearly 20 years. Brundidge co-hosts KOOP 91.7FM’s “Writing on the Air” and is a former director of the International Poetry Festival and of the “Spoken & Heard” poetry series. His most recent book, Element 615 (Lit City Press, 2017) is reviewed in the new issue by Rachel A. Wise.
Featured Comanche artist Eric Tippeconnic’s vibrant artwork honors the Comanche culture historically and as a “living, thriving and contemporary” nation. Based on his exhibit “Comanche Motion” on view at the Bullock Texas State History Museum through Jan. 2, 2019, Tippeconnic’s art talk will showcase his series published in the new journal.
Tippeconnic will sign limited edition posters of Borderlands issue 48 cover featuring his visually-striking artwork “Traditional Comanche Woman” as a special fundraiser for the journal.
Borderlands is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
Free and open to all.
