SUMMARY:The Feminist Book Club with Kate Feld
DESCRIPTION:House of Books & Friends are delighted to announce that we are hosting the Feminist Book Club with facilitator Kate Feld. Taking place monthly\, this will be a space for people of all genders to discuss feminist books. In April we will be reading and discussing Your Silence Will Not Protect You by Audre Lorde. \nTickets\nBook and ticket: £13.99\nTicket only: £3 \nAs always\, there are a limited amount of complimentary tickets available for those who need them. Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com or call 07597 365380. \nAbout the book \nAudre Lorde (1934-92) described herself as ‘Black\, lesbian\, mother\, warrior\, poet’. Her extraordinary belief in the power of language – of speaking – to articulate selfhood\, confront injustice and bring about change in the world remains as transformative today as it was then\, and no less urgent. \nYour Silence Will Not Protect You brings Lorde’s poetry and prose together for the first time. Published posthumously in 2017\, It is the first time a British publisher collected Lorde’s work into one volume. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kate  \nKate Feld is a writer who grew up in in the U.S. state of Vermont and now lives outside Manchester\, UK. She writes poetry\, short fiction\, essays and prose that sits between forms. Her writing explores the natural world\, mythology and the unconscious\, often taking the form of lyric narratives that both interrogate and celebrate lived experience. Her work has been published widely in journals and anthologies including The Stinging Fly\, The Letters Page\, Hotel and Tolka. She is the founding editor of UK creative nonfiction journal and reading series The Real Story\, and lectures in Journalism at the University of Salford. Her chapbook of poetry and photography\, Deeryard\, is forthcoming from Death of Workers Whilst Building Skyscrapers.
