Reading at ZIGZAG reading room, Brussels, Sat 17 January 2026!

 I am thrilled to be participating in the "GARDENS OF THE POSSIBLE" reading: Jennifer K Dick with the amazing MIA YOU and the astounding JULIE CARR this saturday in Brussels. The event will be held at (and is organized by) the Zigzag Reading room. They have announced that the doors open at 19h30, reading is at 20H! 

 

 

                   ZigZag Reading Room is at: Rue Blaes 52, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgique

Zig Zag is delighted to welcome the poets Julie Carr, Mia You, and Jennifer K. Dick for an evening of nocturnal winter gardening. The work of these three poets moves through layers of time, speaking to how human histories—events, cultures, economies, and power structures—superimpose themselves onto the natural and built environment, shaping and being shaped by slow sedimentation and a manifold / unfolding other.

Besides the readings, their books will be on sale, and several kinds of winter-y drinks will be served. After the reading there will be ample space to exchange. 

~ Doors open at 19:30, start at 20:00

~ Open and free for all, no rsvp needed
