- **Event Description**: Award-winning and bestselling author Hanif Abdurraqib shares fresh, new works with an intimate audience.About this EventJoin us at Dissonant Works for New (Poetic) Works: An Intimate Reading with Hanif Abdurraqib.Alongside his week-long residency at Washington University - St. Louis, the award-winning, bestselling essayist, poet, and cultural critic is sharing new work with an intimate, community audience."Reverence is what differentiates him and his work, to me anyway. He can write about an Aretha Franklin song and make it a prayer. Or a sports arena and make it a church. And, as he does in his most recent book There's Always This Year, he can write about watching the rise of LeBron James in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio and make it feel like witnessing a miracle." - Rachel Martin, NPRThis event is free, but we encourage attendees to donate $10 per person to support our incredible host organization, Dissonant Works!  **RSVP to secure your seat.
