10 Transgressions: Queer Poetry Mixtape

Join us for an evening of poetry and Pride, as each featured poet reads one poem in each set—just like flipping the front and back of a mixtape. Expect fierce words, deep feeling, and full-on celebration of queer voices.

This year’s event will raise funds for Kaleidoscope Youth Center, supporting and affirming LGBTQIA+ youth across Central Ohio. ( https://www.kycohio.org/)

Last year’s 10 Transgressions: A Queer Poetry Mixtape was an absolute blast—10 poets, two sets, and one packed house singing along to “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. It was funny, joyful, weird, tender, and unforgettable—and this year, we’re doing it again.
