[link removed]
While Pride Month has come to an end, it is important now more than ever to share and amplify LGBTQ+ stories and writers. Working with the podcast series Queer Poem-a-Day ([link removed]) , we shared poems written by LGBTQ+ poets throughout June on Instagram, in response to the wave of legislation that is silencing writers and removing books that feature LGBTQ+ protagonists and stories.

Women in Translation Reading Series 2022 ([link removed])
** Tuesday 8/16 – Tuesday 8/30 | 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET
Digital Event
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
August is around the corner, and it’s time to celebrate Women in Translation (#WiT) Month again! This reading series was initiated by blogger Meytal Radzinski in 2014 to raise awareness of translated literature by women, queer, and nonbinary authors, and promote gender and cultural diversity in literary publishing. Organized under the support of the PEN America Translation Committee, these events will bring together three panels of translators, joined by their authors, working in a diversity of languages. The readings will be followed by a brief Q&A discussion, time-permitting. The Women in Translation Reading Series will take place on Zoom on three consecutive Tuesdays in August.

The PEN Ten ([link removed])
[link removed]
The PEN Ten with Kelley Nicole Girod: ([link removed]) “Recording our lived experience is a declaration of our humanity in a world where many of us still aren’t seen as fully human.”
[link removed]
The PEN Ten with Gabriela Alemán: ([link removed]) “I think that that is what fiction does best, mine 'accepted' truths. Bring to the forefront what is whispered about behind closed doors.”
[link removed]
The PEN Ten with Suchitra Vijayan: ([link removed]) “It’s easy to retreat into despair, easier to forget. So now I write in anger, and I write not to surrender my rage.”
