FIELD TRIP #6 is 5/3
Featuring Bazeed, Raven Eaddy, Rewa Zeinati & Grace Bialecki
We are coming up hot on another Field Trip, this time on Saturday, May 3, at 7 pm. I’m excited to host New York-based playwright Bazeed, along with Detroit poets Raven Eaddy and Rewa Zeinati, and music by Grace Bialecki.
Announcements from the FIELD
I was really sad to hear that the poet Larry Sawyer died this year. Larry and his wife, Lina Ramona Vitkauskas, worked tirelessly for the poetry community in Chicago while I was there. If you can, donate to his memorial fund.
A poem of Larry’s below:
Do you have a poetry project you’re working on? emily brandt is teaching a revision class on Wednesday evenings. I’ve loved the classes I’ve taken with her so far.
Stephanie Sutton’s chapbook Girl God is out, and it’s gorgeous. It’s through Pitymilk Press, edited by the great edie roberts. (Buy some books).
If you have something to announce, let me know.
About the artists
Bazeed is a multi–award winning Egyptian immigrant, playwright, poet, performer, plant-dad, editor, curator, masticator, medical school dropout, licensed massage therapist, and very decent cook, living in Brooklyn. An alliteration-leaning writer of prose, poetry, plays, and pantry lists, their work across genres is published in print and online, while their plays have been performed on both sides of the Atlantic.
To procrastinate from facing the blank page, Bazeed talks to the multitudes of plants they maintain in their Brooklyn hermitage, and is a slow student of Arabic music.Rewa Zeinati is the author of the poetry chapbooks, Bullets & Orchids (Corrupt Press, 2013) and Difficult (Diode Editions, 2023), and the founding editor of Sukoon magazine. Her poems and essays are published in a number of journals and anthologies in the US and elsewhere. She currently lives and works in metro Detroit.
