Join the PhxArt Book Club for the first poetry book Promises of Gold by José Olivarez. In this groundbreaking collection of poems, Olivarez explores every kind of love―self, brotherly, romantic, familial, cultural. Grappling with the contradictions of the American Dream with unflinching humanity, he lays bare the ways in which “love is complicated by forces larger than our hearts.” This book club selection connects to photography exhibition Laura Aguilar: Nudes in Nature, on view in the Norton Photography Gallery.
This program is intended for audiences 18 years and older.
