Host Publications is proud to celebrate the launch of Survived By: An Atlas of Disappearance by Stephanie Niu. Full of lament and wonder in equal measure, Niu’s poems are maps that guide us to a place of intimate attention where we can hold what is most vulnerable and tender on this planet, to better understand what has already been lost and what is currently at stake. These poems collect fragments of memory to shape an archive of things lost—from the fleeting raptures of childhood to the species nearing and beyond extinction.

Featured readers include: Stephanie Niu, cloud deflina cardona, and Bianca Alyssa Pérez. Hosted by editors Claire Bowman and Annar Veröld, audience members will have the chance to win chapbooks and an Alienated Majesty bookstore gift card. Free & open to all lovers of poetry. Masks are strongly encouraged.
