Join Monica McClure for the highly-anticipated book launch of her new poetry collection, The Gone Thing, at POWERHOUSE Arena in Brooklyn. This exclusive event will take place on November 10, 2023. 

In The Gone Thing, McClure delves deep into the complexities of American life, exploring various inheritances such as historical, cultural, familial, and economic. With a keen eye for detail, she skillfully examines class, race, and conflicting identities, offering a unique perspective on these topics. McClure's polyvocal style showcases her background as an ambiguous academic turned ambivalent corporate creative, an individual who has witnessed firsthand the realities of rural poverty and its colonial origins. Furthermore, her white Chicana heritage and her connection to the folklore and wisdom of her agricultural-worker ancestors add another layer of depth to her work.

Monica McClure is a highly-acclaimed writer based in Brooklyn. She is the author of the poetry collection Tender Data and several chapbooks, including Concomitance and Mala. McClure is also a co-founder of Yellow Wallpaper, an organization that promotes curated books and book culture for readers outside major metropolitan areas. In addition to her writing career, she works as a copywriter in e-commerce and tech and teaches English and Creative Writing at Hunter College.

Joining McClure in conversation will be Blythe Roberson, a renowned comedian and humor writer. Roberson has written for esteemed publications such as The New Yorker, Esquire, and The Washington Post. She is the author of America The Beautiful? and How to Date Men When You Hate Men. Together, McClure and Roberson will engage in a thought-provoking discussion about The Gone Thing and its impact on contemporary literature.
