You’re invited to a free event at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 18th. It will be in the UUFF sanctuary, followed by refreshments.
Award-winning author Diana Goetsch (see photo) from New York will speak about transgender history, identity, awareness, and allyship; and there will be time for conversation.
Diana is a poet and essayist. She’s the author of eight collections of poems, the “Life in Transition” blog at The American Scholar, and the acclaimed memoir This Body I Wore. Her writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Best American Poetry, and the Pushcart Prize anthology. Her honors include fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the New School, where she served as the Grace Paley Teaching Fellow. For twenty-one years Goetsch was a New York City public school teacher, at Stuyvesant High School and at Passages Academy in the Bronx, where she ran a creative writing program for incarcerated teens.
This event is co-sponsored by UUFF, the Cocoon Collective, and Pride at NWACC. For more information about Diana’s recent book and to view the book cover, CLICK HERE.
