October 2024

This month, at our new location and time, we welcome writer Sasha Hawkins.

Sasha Hawkins is a writer from Laveen. She is the author of two chapbooks, And His Banner Over Me Was Love (Pansy Press, 2024) and These Deals Won’t Last Forever (the operating system, 2019). She is also the author of the poetry collection Batesian Prey of the American Southwest (Schism Neuronics, 2023).

She is currently the Coordinator for Educational Programs at the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing at ASU and she will speak on the many opportunities available to us through the center.

She will also show us how poetry teaches us that each word matters in all genres of writing, giving us the impact we need to bring our readers into our stories.

She is a part of the Desert Nights, Rising Stars. Learn more at https://piper.asu.edu/about.
