Reading Towards a Future – Ignite

As we come out of one of the longest weeks on record, we are throwing back our gratitude towards Books Are Magic and The Rumpus for organizing an incredible event with PANK and The Offing at this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival.

This reading was loaded with inspiration, hope, and a unified sense that writing empowers.

If you’re looking for a jump start to your week, we highly suggest checking out work in one of our favorite publications (The Rumpus) — including a conversation between Monet Thomas and Raven Lelaini, author of Luster, and poetry by Marlon M. Jenkins.

The Offing never ceases to amaze us with their powerful catalogue of fresh work by inspiring writers, and we cannot recommend a follow up to work read at our BKBF Book Event Reading, such as poetry by Golden and fiction by Erika T. Wurth.

Needless to say — we’re reading. We’re writing. We’re grateful for the literary community and all these publications bring to the table as we celebrate the future.
