Magma: The Liberation Issue
Join us for the launch of the Liberation issue, an exciting edition of Magma Poetry magazine, full of rousing poetry and defiant prose. Hosted by editor and Magma board member Isabelle Baafi, the event will feature readings from some of the poets in the issue – Alycia Pirmohamed, Nat Raha, Zain Rishi and Amy L. King – as well as a video presentation and panel discussion, inviting us to consider what liberation truly means and how we can enact it in our world.
