Bordighera Press is dedicated to publishing creative works on the Italian diasporic experience. Julia Lisella, Jennifer Martelli, and Carla Panciera—three award-winning poets—will read from their books published by this press. Their poetry confronts stereotypes and misogyny within and without the Italian American community. The poets will also discuss the importance of finding community in the writing world and how that has supported and influenced their work.The reading will be followed by a robust question and answer period.
