- **Event Description**: LONE GLEN 47: Crip Poetics at Et al.

Join us at 4 pm on Sunday, January 18th at Mission District’s Et al. where we will celebrate writers Stephanie Heit and Petra Kuppers! Visiting all the way from Michigan, Heit and Kuppers will offer us their work as disability activists, Turtle Disco educators, and somatic poetry movers who can’t be more important as 2026 leads us closer to the future. Petra Kuppers “grounds herself in disability culture methods,” using “somatics, performance, media, visual art, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures.” Stephanie Heit’s newest collection, Psych Murders, uses “a powerful melange of experimental forms,” tracing “her queer mad bodymind through breathlessness, damage, refusal, and memory loss” (Wayne State University, 2022). This event, MC’D by the fabulous Michael Tod Edgerton, will also feature writers Alex Mattraw and Eleni Stecopoulos. 

LOCATION + VENUE

This Lone Glen will take place at Et al. &amp; Et al. books and gallery, located at 2831A Mission Street, San Francisco.
10-15 suggested donation to Et al. ADA accessible. 

ABOUT THE WRITERS

Stephanie Heit (she/her) is a queer disabled poet, dancer, teacher, and codirector of Turtle Disco, a somatic writing space on Anishinaabe territory in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Her practices explore the seams of movement, language, and mental health difference often within site-specific inquiries involving water. She is bipolar, a mad activist, a shock/psych system survivor, and a member of the Olimpias, an international disability performance collective. Her poetry collections are The Color She Gave Gravity (Operating System, 2017), and PSYCH MURDERS (Wayne State University Press, 2022), a book of hybrid memoir poems that invites readers inside psychiatric wards and shock treatments toward new futures of care. PSYCH MURDERS won the Midwest Book Award Gold Medal, IPPY Bronze Medal, and was a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Award. Website: https://stephanie-heit.com/

Petra Kuppers (she/her) is a disability culture activist, a community performance artist, and a poet. Petra grounds herself in disability culture methods, and she uses somatics, performance, media, visual art, and speculative writing to engage audiences toward more socially just and enjoyable futures. Her third performance poetry collection, Gut Botany (Wayne State University Press, 2020), was named one of the top ten US poetry books of 2020 by the New York Public Library and won the 2022 Creative Book Award by the Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment. Her fourth poetry collection, Diver Beneath the Street, investigates true crime and ecopoetry at the level of the soil, at the limit of life and death (Wayne State University Press, 2024, finalist, Julie Suk Award). Petra was a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow, and is currently at work on Planting Disabled Futures, a virtual reality/community performance project, as a Just Tech Fellow (2024-2026).

Alex Mattraw is a queer poet, mother, and educator living in Berkeley. Her third full length collection of poetry, Raw Anyone, was published by Brooklyn’s Cultural Society in 2022, and two of her four chapbooks live at Dancing Girl Press. Her work often explores the intersections between climate, environmental toxins, and neurodiversity. Her most recent projects also focus on the wisdom inherent to animal and plant species, reflecting themes of adaptation and resilience. Recent poems can be found in The Brooklyn Rail, LAdige Review, Lana Turner, Interim, and VOLT. A frequent collaborator with other writers and artists, Alex is also the founder and curator of the Bay Area reading series, Lone Glen, now in its fifteenth year. alexmattraw.com

Eleni Stecopoulos is an essayist, poet, critic, and editor. The author of Dreaming in the Fault Zone (Nightboat), Visceral Poetics (ON Contemporary Practice), and Armies of Compassion (Palm Press), she has written extensively on the poetics and politics of illness, medicine, and healing. In 2026, she will facilitate a writing workshop around these topics for City Lights. Her current project explores correspondences between sacred visual culture and popular technologies today, against the backdrop of competing iconoclasms. An independent developmental and line editor, Eleni enjoys working with writers of nonfiction, criticism, (auto)ethnography, poetry, and all sorts of hybrid and experimental prose. Her conversation with poet and editor Andy Jackson appears in the most recent issue of Cordite Poetry Review.
