Reading by Sonia Greenfield and Jessica E. Johnson

  • Eat My Words Bookstore 214 13th Avenue NE Minneapolis United States (map)

Please join us for a reading of selected works of poetry by Sonia Greenfield and Jessica E. Johnson.

Sonia Greenfield (she/they) is the author of three full-length collections of poetry: All Possible Historiesreleased in December 2022 with Riot in Your Throat; Letdownreleased in March 2020, selected for the Marie Alexander Series, and published by White Pine Press, and Boy With a Halo at the Farmer's Market, which won the 2014 Codhill Poetry Prize and was published in 2015.

All Possible Histories is a collection of poems that explore what could have been: ghosts have the ability to tell their side of the story, children shed the labels that bind them, mothers and daughters re-make their relationships, beloved pets never die. With poignant deft, this collection takes the reader on a journey of what might have happened and then returns them to the here and now, grateful not all alternative realities come true.

 Jessica E. Johnson writes poetry and nonfiction. Her first full-length collection, , is forthcoming from Acre Books in 2023. She lives in Portland, Oregon where she co-hosts the Constellation Reading Series.


In Metabolics, a single speaker tries to control her body and negotiate her time with digital devices, all the while navigating identities, impulses, and relationships that are often in tension.
