Exciting News ~ Kate Evans
This week, Kate Evans was one of the keynote speakers at the Atlanta Queer Lit Festival. Kate started off her speech by sharing "John McCain's Dementia," which is poem created because of her involvement with Quarrel.
Quarrel is a blog where five poets will share work from the very first rough draft and take you through their revision process to the polished poem. The crazy poets joining together on this adventure are none other than some proud homo's: Dustin Brookshire, Kate Evans, Christopher Hennessy, and Charles Jensen. In an effort not to be too gay they have picked up a token straight poet, Genevieve Lyons.
