POWER OF THE P
THURSDAY, JUNE 20 | 7PM-9PM
2018 BRIO award winner Alicia Anabel Santos curates an evening celebrating world PRIDE alongside some of the baddest womyn and men of color in the poetry and literary worlds. She will be reading from her novel in progress For the Love of Parsley. Join us for a live reading and workshop celebrating our LGBTQA++ stories. These are prophetic poets/authors who are not afraid to play with words filled with passion, pleasure, pain, politics, while celebrating the power of the p.
Call it coincidence or call it fate when Maggie Fuentes, rummaging through a Coney Island flea market, stumbles upon a handwritten diary whose author, a young girl of the nineteenth century named Ellen, reveals dreadful secrets that parallel Maggie’s own. Far removed from each other in time but bonded by the white-capped ocean, amusement park locale, and converging torments, it seems particularly apt that the sleight-of-hand landscape of luck and chance provides the setting for Maggie’s harrowing and hypnotic encounter with turmoil, then kismet, and ultimately, clarity and reawakening. Coney Island Siren presents the paradox of a nurse skilled at healing others but unable to mend herself as she sinks deep into the sinister maelstrom of her lover, Police Officer Frank Ramirez, until the stark urgency of lines written by a kindred spirit compel her to confront the reality of her—and their—lives.

Graciella la Gitana’s Oracle/El Oráculo de Graciella la Gitana
Graciella la Gitana whispered her messages of timeless inspiration to us and we listened. She graciously offered her wisdom and we responded by creating this 56 card oracle with accompanying booklet of spiritual guidance from Graciella’s heart that will now be shared with you. Each concept is offered in lyrical prose in both English and Spanish. For those of you who would like instruction on the various ways to use the oracle I’m offering Oracle workshops. So please stay tuned for the next date. Simply head over to our Shop (found on the header).
If you’re interested in hosting an Oracle Workshop please reach out to me at query@pollenpresspublishing.com or theresavarela@gmail.com
