A day before the pub date of “Women in Marigold,” a debut poetry book by Mansi Dahal, join us for an intimate poetry reading at KGB Bar’s Red Room—an 1834 walkup that once served as a socialist club in the East Village. With a backdrop of peeling red, we have an incredible line up of poets. Ry will be moderating this event and Mansi Dahal will be reading with the poets Ashna Ali, Emily Skillings and Natasha Rao. The door will open at 7:00 with the reading starting closer to 7:15! See you all there.
Note: It’s two flights up the street, not one! There’s another reading happening downstairs.

Wilting coriander, etched steel plates, and long, dark hair spread on a beauty parlor floor—Women in Marigold is intimacy over a kitchen sink and sheer evidence of presence. At its center is the ache of dislocation and the desire for rootedness, captured in a single, impossible wish: “Imagine being able to live / in one place at one time.” Interrogating what we inherit, Women in Marigold moves from Kathmandu to New York City, from Saeeda Bai to Sylvia Plath, confronting the tension between life as a daughter in Nepal and a future as an artist in America. The book has received advance praise from Diane Seuss, Bhanu Kapil, Dorothea Lasky, and Timothy Donnelly.
