Poetry Reading featuring Nicole Callihan, Brenda Cárdenas, Jane Creighton, Laura Cronk, Iris Jamahl Dunkle, Janet Jennerjohn, K.P. Kaszubowski, Michele Kotler, Amy Lemmon, Robin Reagler, and Anna V. Q. Ross

Eclipsing the solitary poet mythology, a group of a dozen women, diverse in terms of age, race, geography, and sexuality, started a writing group that supports and inspires creativity and success (defined individually) through risk-taking, vulnerability, and love. They have been promoting one another at every stage of the writing process, from generation to revision to publication to marketing and celebration. For nearly four years, The Matrix has been meeting each week over Zoom. As the pandemic has subsided, in-person retreats and readings have been added to their activities, and group members have released approximately four books per year. We are excited to have them all here in Milwaukee and to celebrate their shared practice! Please join us for a group reading from their work.
