Join Kara Briggs, 2024 James Welch Prize winning poet, for an in-person reading and celebration of her lyrical and documentary poetry book Rivers In My Veins.
“Rivers in My Veins is an expression of my experience as a mixed-race tribal citizen in the West,” Briggs said. “It opens a window on a tribal perspective on the modern world, and history that brought us to this present time. It speaks to readers who are inundated with the noise of today’s media world and invites them to talk a walk in the lands by the waters that are ever present and available to all."
