Megan Pinto, Jimin Seo, and Spencer Williams

In this shared reading, poets Megan Pinto, Jimin Seo, and Spencer Williams take the Greenlight stage to present their debut poetry collections, Saints of Little Faith, OSSIA and TRANZ. In Saints of Little Faith, Pinto moves between personal and generational histories, through collisions of abuse, psychosis, and rage, alongside their reprieve: beauty, tenderness and the landscapes these forces inhabit. Seo's OSSIA takes up a material we think we recognize—language—and transforms it through permutation, history, and translation, into a lyrical and alien terrain, and in TRANZ, Williams writes about the joys, perils, and bad jokes of transgender life and survivability. Following the reading, all three authors will come together in conversation, followed by a Q&A and signings. Wine reception to follow
