- **Event Description**: Winner of the Colorado Poetry Prize, Asha Futterman comes to Lost City Boks to discuss her debut full-length poetry collection, SONG OF GRAYAbout this EventAbout the book:Song of Gray approaches Black experience by clarifying the concrete worlds that exist between humanity and objecthood. Asha Futterman renders this in-between space as it reveals itself in performance: in a contemporary performance workshop, at an audition, in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and in the dailiness of the YMCA, her porch, the walk to the train. These poems build new logic systems. Futterman stands at her grandmother's grave and proclaims, "how powerful how dense and naked how inaccurate." With quiet, deadpan, and piercing language, Song of Gray offers earnest, felt relationships to race, empathy, pleasure, and nonsense. "There wasn't a sunrise / just gray / then brighter gray," Futterman writes. In Song of Gray, blackness is not definite-it is an ambivalent hole as much as an area of hope. Blackness is a song of gray.About the author:Asha Futterman is an actor and poet from Chicago. She holds an MFA in poetry from Washington University in St. Louis. Her chapbook empathy was published by The Song Cave in 2024. Her poems have appeared in Poetry, Bennington Review, Conduit, and The Journal. She currently teaches children in Brooklyn.

Our small team is a collection of some of DC’s coolest kids: artists, educators, musicians, writers, and—of course—avid readers all coming together to enrich this unique environment.\r\nTo consider the past, the present and the future with an equal mind is often the purpose of literature and is certainly the story of the human condition: molded by the past, yet inevitably changed by the future. Lost City Books is a rediscovery of both, a chance to visit diverse places, ideas, time periods and experiences. To be curious-emotionally, intellectually, psychologically-about the world, the mind, and the imagination is to be an explorer, always between shores, weighing the latest discoveries with what is tested true. Lost City Books is the place for explorers, for deep divers, who want the books they find to take them to a new horizon.\r\n \r\n "
