Join poet and visual artist Geoffrey Gatza for a special event celebrating his groundbreaking book Self Geofferential — a vibrant fusion of poetry and visual collage.

This unique afternoon brings together a live poetry reading and an art showing of Gatza’s collage works featured in the book. Created with hand-painted watercolor paper and archival glue sticks, these luminous pieces explore memory, identity, and the architecture of the self — echoing the playful, profound, and layered language of the poems.

Published to critical acclaim, Self Geofferential has been praised as “a singular and exhilarating act of self-portraiture” and “a poetics of the handmade.” Expect wit, emotion, insight, and a deeply personal reimagining of what poetry can be on and off the page.
