Queer Book Club April

Wednesday Apr 9th, 2025

7:00 PM

–

8:00 PM

Quatrefoil Library, 1220 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN 55407

Join us for Queer Book Club on Wednesday, April 9th, at 7:00pm at Quatrefoil Library, 1220 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN 55407. We’ll be discussing Blood Orange by Mx. Yaffa. Anyone is welcome to join whether you’ve read the whole book or just skimmed a few pages. We meet the second Wednesdays of every month!
“Blood Orange” is a highly emotional, important and timely poetry collection by Mx. Yaffa (They/She), a trans Muslim displaced Indigenous Palestinian. Their writings probe the yearning for home, belonging, mental health, queerness, transness, and other dimensions of marginalization while nurturing dreams of utopia against the background of ongoing displacement and genocide of indigenous Palestinians.
This highly charged and cathartic body of work confronts the anguish and loss inflicted by genocide but also embraces a vision of a world free of it. The poems within “Blood Orange” were a means of working through and processing the grief caused by recent events and serve as an act of protest and defiance against settler colonialism as a whole.

MNPoly Community Building Event
2025-10-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Quatrefoil Library, 1220 East Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN, 55407, United States
Let’s bring the MNPoly community together on a monthly basis with some exercises designed to build connections.
We will have an ice breaker as a whole group, then break up into groups of 4-5 to perform a team building exercise that helps us really get to know each other a bit more. We’ll scramble the groups and do a second exercise. Then, we’ll get back together as one big group to discuss what might change for next time. To conclude the night we will finish with an open mingling session to hang with some of your new-found friends!
