Winterfat Presse is a feminist poetry collective. Our reading room, writing circle, and publication celebrates the body in all of its revolutions and uprisings, of which there are many. We believe in the power of live spoken-word events to invite the unpredictable exchange of voices, writing circles that ask us to enter our bodies in informal and thus, more lasting ways—all exchanges that poetically challenge our predispositions and open new perspectives.
Winterfat is a space where self-expression is held, legitimized, and accessible. Our reading rooms always feature a selected author whose work explores resistance through its embodied poetics, and our writing groups always center intuitive prompts that challenge the 'truths' the empire feeds us about our lives.
Winterfat Reading Room is programmed by Andi Gunther, stage designed by Emil Byun, and outreached by Nya Morgan. Shakori Carpenter and Lucille Lindberg are the text and art editors for "Winterfat Literary Magazine."
