Join poet Natalie Diaz and artist A.K. Burns for an evening of poetry and conversation that explores the significance of land, water, and language across their practices. Held in conjunction with Burns’s exhibition What is Perverse is Liquid, this program is inspired by the role of creative connection and relationship to artistic life and imagination. Diaz is a Pulitzer-Prize winning Mojave poet and author of Postcolonial Love Poem, a poetry collection that has been a source of artistic affinity and inspiration for Burns’s work. At the Henry, Diaz will offer a reading from the collection alongside a presentation by Burns. A conversation in response to each other’s work will follow, and will be moderated by writer and UW Bothell creative writing professor Ching-In Chen.

This program is co-presented with the UW Bothell MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics program. Funding support provided by the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences and the UW Bothell Labor Colloquium.
