Thomas Glave and Dorothea Smartt - Author Reading and Poetry Performance

Thomas Glave is an O. Henry award-winning author and was named a Village Voice Writer on the Verge in 2000. He is the author of Whose Song? and Other Stories, Words to Our Now: Imagination and Dissent (Lambda Literary Award, 2005), The Torturer's Wife (finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize), and editor of the anthology Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles (Lambda Literary Award, 2008). His most recent work has appeared in the New York Times, the Kenyon Review, Callaloo. Glave has been the Martin Luther King Jr. Visiting Professor at MIT and a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. Among the Bloodpeople: Politics & Flesh is his latest book.

Dorothea Smartt, poet, live artist and literary activist, described as a 'Brit-born Bajan international?, her work typically bridges the islands of Britain and Barbados, effortlessly shuttling between local and global scenes as it weaves a diasporic web. She is the author of two poetry collections, Connecting Medium and Ship Shape, [Peepal Tree Press], and featured in several anthologies and journals - most recently Flicker & Spark International Queer Anthology [Lowbrow Press, 2013] and the Poetry Review [Winter, 2012].
