Carissa Natalia Baconguis and Linda Harris Dolan Poetry Reading

Author of Sacred and Perishable (Nine Syllables Press, 2025), Carissa Natalia Baconguis refashions tropes of cinematic body horror, Filipino mythologies, and religious imagery to tell the stories of two characters: Dian, a medical student and Carlos, a shapeshifter. Linda Harris Dolan packs an astonishing level of emotional openness into her latest chapbook, i’m probably betraying my body (Bottlecap Press, 2024), which details her complex experiences of living with congenital heart disease. Both poets will read, followed by conversation with Adrie Rose. Free & open to the public. Books available for sale & signings follow. Livestream also available on the BDPC YouTube page.
