Take a Stand: Poets Against Hate

I will be reading my poem, “Stigmatized and Written Off” at this important event, Oct. 19, 2-4 p.m., at the Seattle Central Public Library – 1000 Fourth Ave, Seattle, WA 98104. This poem is part of my full-length cancer  poetry memoir (currently unpublished). It speaks about the stigma and negative responses one receives as a cancer patient, and how our culture addresses the chronically ill and terminal. People say the darnedest cruel things…it’s tough stuff to hear in an already tough time. This event stands up to bigotry of different types. When I learned of it, I said, I want to support this! Join us for a powerful afternoon and “Take a Stand!” There are many power poets reading. Can’t believe I’m among them!!
