ABOUT THE SERIES

The On Edge Reading Series seeks to enrich literary and writing communities both inside and outside of ECU. The 2021 season will highlight the work of BIPOC writers and marginalized writing communities such as those involved in sex work, and those at the intersections of race, mental illness, disability, and queerness. We will showcase nine poets who are doing the freshest, most interesting, relevant work, and who are volunteers, literary award winners, social justice organizers, prison abolitionists, literary organizers, dancers, managing editors, filmmakers, creative writing instructors, and scholars.

Curated and hosted by Mercedes Eng, and co-hosted by Vance Wright.
All readings start at 6pm PST and are open to the public.
