Torch Literary Arts presents the Wildfire Reading Series featuring Ebony Stewart, author of WASH.
Join us for a reading, conversation, Q&A, and book signing.
Ebony Stewart’s third collection, WASH is uncompromising and emotionally raw. Through trauma and recovery, black girlhood comes of age in WASH, journeying through moments of self-discovery, mental illness, love and heartbreak. Stewart reckons traditional definitions of womxnhood, exploring its complications, its communities, and its queerness.
WASH brutally dissects black womxnhood for all its blood, beauty, sacrifice and strength. With Stewart’s distinct, lyrical voice, WASH is sure to be a collection that will bring you to tears and brighten your day in the same breath.
