SUMMARY:Moon Palace Queer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Event by Moon Palace Books \nPublic  ·  Join us for Queer Book Club every second Wednesday from 7-8pm at Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407! (Please note that in the summer we will only meet at Quatrefoil if it rains. Otherwise we will meet at Brackett Park.) \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQueer Book Club April\n\n\n\nWednesday Apr 9th\, 2025\n\n\n7:00 PM\n\n\n–\n\n\n8:00 PM\n\n\n Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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! \n“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. \nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Books

SUMMARY:Our Stories and Ourselves: A Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:History is forgotten if it is not recorded. That simple idea has always been important\, but never more so than right now\, when there are cultural and political forces hard at work trying to erase our stories as LGBTQ+ individuals\, stories of struggle and oppression but also stories of pride and perseverance. This workshop\, geared towards older members of the LGBTQ+ community but open to all and to writers of all levels\, will explore ways in which we can tell and preserve our stories. Through generative writing exercises and discussion\, we’ll consider how our own experiences can serve as building blocks for storytelling\, whether it’s through poetry\, fiction\, or non-fiction. Participants can expect lots of time for writing\, brainstorming\, reflection\, and questions! \nGary Eldon Peter is the author of the short story collection Oranges\, recipient of the Gold Medal for LGBTQ+ fiction in the Independent Publisher Book Awards and the Midwest Book Award\, and the novel The Complicated Calculus (and Cows) of Carl Paulsen\, which received the Minnesota Book Award\, the Foreword Reviews INDIE Book of the Year Award\, and the Whippoorwill Book Award. It was also was named one of the best books of 2022 by National Public Radio. The recipient of grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the McKnight Foundation\, he recently retired after 21 years as a faculty member at the University of Minnesota. He lives in Saint Paul with his partner and is at work on his third book\, a collection of essays. You can find out more about Gary and his work at garyeldonpeter.com. \nGary Eldon Peter is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

SUMMARY:Moon Palace Queer Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Event by Moon Palace Books \nPublic  ·  Join us for Queer Book Club every second Wednesday from 7-8pm at Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407! (Please note that in the summer we will only meet at Quatrefoil if it rains. Otherwise we will meet at Brackett Park.) \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQueer Book Club April\n\n\n\nWednesday Apr 9th\, 2025\n\n\n7:00 PM\n\n\n–\n\n\n8:00 PM\n\n\n Quatrefoil Library\, 1220 East Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN 55407\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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! \n“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. \nThis 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Books
