We will hear readings from contributors Kao Kalia Yang\, Alison McGhee\, Casey Jarrin and more as well as performances by local musical guests Kith and Kin\, Squinny\, and Whispered the Rabbit.         \n— \nLocker Room Talk listens in on the epic and ordinary moments that happen when women are together. Subverting the traditional idea of “locker room talk\,” this anthology illuminates the conversations women share with family\, friends\, and strangers\, whether at the sinks of a nightclub ladies’ room\, on a bus heading to the Women’s March\, or in the kitchen of an elder relative. Together\, they reveal the myriad ways women care for themselves\, each other\, their communities\, and our world. Join us for a night of literature\, music\, and celebration. Copies of Locker Room Talk will be available for purchase.\n— \nKith + Kin Chorus is an uncommon community choir in the Twin Cities\, open to singers of all skill levels\, and 70+ singers strong. If you can match a pitch and carry a tune\, you can join! Voices are the original instrument andfew things are more unifying than voices\, raised together in song. And in a world that so easily divides and isolates\, singing in diverse community is its own act of rebellion and reimagining.\n—\nWhispered the Rabbit blends progressive folk\, rock and punk to take you on a lore-inspired journey through secret gardens\, cosmic storms and historic dance battles.\n \nWtR creates its tone poems out of a mutual love for storytelling. After a year of adventures\, their first album “Vol.I” was released digitally and on vinyl in Sept 2023\, chased by a montage of incredibly fun shows and a second tour in Ireland + the UK in 2024. \n\n—\nVol. II is WtR’s focus for 2025\, crafting new tones and character into a landscape of timeless themes woven together by folklore and nature. Look for a staggereddigital release of seasonally inspired tracks + Vol. II’s full vinyl release later this year.\n—\nKao Kalia Yang (she/her) is a Hmong American writer.\nShe is the author of the memoirs The Latehomecomer: A\nHmong Family Memoir\, The Song Poet\, and Somewhere in the Unknown World. Yang is also the author of the children’s books A Map into the World\, The Shared Room\, The Most Beautiful Thing\, Yang Warriors\, From the Tops of\nthe Trees\, The Rock in My Throat\, Caged\, and The Diamond Explorer.
