The Bureau is pleased to welcome back Up My Spot for a post-brunch reading. Up My Spot celebrates poetry that queers language, explores modes of representation, and creates sites of non-normative histories, identities, and intimacies. This reading features poems that borrow, revise, and re-appropriate the texts and authors that used us first. Readings by Mia Bruner, Audrey Zee Whitesides, and Nick Von Kleist. The Bureau will serve Bloody Marys and Mimosas in addition to wine, beer, and sparkling and still water for suggested donations of $5.

Audrey Zee Whitesides is a poet and musician born in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Her poetry and cultural writing has appeared or is forthcoming in/on Autostraddle.com, Jughead’s Basement, and Seven Stamps among others, and she’s the author of two handmade chapbooks. She also leads Brooklyn trans punk band Little Waist.
