media release: A Room of One's Own welcomes Gabrielle Civil, author of the déjà vu, for a virtual conversation on Crowdcast with fellow Black feminist writer and performance artist Ra Malika Imhotep! Emerging from the intersection of pandemic and uprising, the déjà vu activates forms both new and ancestral, drawing movement, speech, and lyric essay into performance memoir. As Gabrielle Civil considers Haitian tourist paintings, dance rituals, race at the movies, black feminist legacies, and more, she reflects on her personal losses and desires, speculates on black time, and dreams into expansive black life.

press release: A Room of One's Own welcomes Joshua Nguyen, author of Come Clean, for an evening of poetry and conversation on Crowdcast with fellow poet Derrick Harriell! About Come Clean: Joshua Nguyen's sharp, songlike, and often experimental collection compartmentalizes past trauma—sexual and generational—through the quotidian. Poems aim to confront the speaker's past by physically, and mentally, cleaning up. Here, the Asian-American masculine interrogates the domestic space through the sensual and finds healing through family and in everyday rhythms: rinsing rice until the water runs clear, folding clean shirts, and attempts at re-creating an unwritten family recipe.
