Loved everything about last night, it was just so perfectly executed. The act of preparing beautiful and delicious food where all the thinking was done for us, and the feeling of connection from meal prep to sitting together was so comfortable and organic. Truly an amazing experience, especially for someone like me who shies away from social situations in general. Thank you for this wonderful night! I would absolutely do this again!

In issue 102, guest editor Therese Estacion asks: “What do we make of a disabled body or, to use disability justice group Sins Invalid’s term, bodymind that desires? A body that knows all too well how it feels to be told that it has no business wanting for love, wanting for more.”

The poems and essays in this issue approach this question from all angles and “fill the space with their desirous voice.”

Join Arc Poetry for a special launch in Toronto at Society Clubhouse. We will be joined by guest editor, Therese Estacion, as well as contributors from the issue. Copies of the issue will be available at the launch. See more here: https://arcpoetry.ca/editorials/magazine/arc-102/
