This is a virtual Drop Leaf Press event that takes place over Zoom.

NOTE: Our reading will take place from 5:30 to 6:05pm (PST), followed by a (completely optional) Talking Circle, which will be from 6:10-7pm.

Drop Leaf Press invites you to celebrate the release of ALL OF IT, TINGED, a curated juxtaposition of the photography of Asako Shimazaki and the writing of Diana Fisher. Shimazaki’s quietly charged images from her solo wanderings across Northern Japan reflect and inflect Fisher’s diligent poetic narrative about a novitiate and her convent absorbing the results of a catastrophic national election. Supporting our featured reader, Diana Fisher, will be poems by Jennifer S. Cheng and an introduction to the book by Heidi Van Horn, editor, and Janet Bishop, Chief Curator at SFMOMA.

Following the reading, we invite you to join us for an optional 45-minute Post-Inauguration Talking Circle. In the vein of ALL OF IT, TINGED, this will be a facilitated safe space for anyone who wants to share how they are processing the impact of the recent election and the transition of power. All feelings welcome! <3
