Tonight: Every Place on the Map is Disabled: Poems and Essays Book Launch, 7:30-9 pm ET on Zoom with Meg Day, Constance Merritt, DJ Savarese, Lateef McLoed & Andy Jackson. Hosted by Camisha Jones, Michael Northen, Naomi Ortiz & Travis Chi Wing Lau. ASL, CART & AD. RSVP at: bit.ly/EveryPlaceDi...

Heading text over a tan background reads “Tonight! Virtual Book Launch for Every Place on the Map is Disabled: Poems and Essays with Meg Day, Constance Merritt, DJ Savarese, Lateef McLeod, and Andy Jackson.” This text is beside an image of the cover of the newly released anthology and over individual photos of the featured poets. Anthology cover description: A beige background at the top and bottom includes text that reads “Every Place on the Map is Disabled: Poems and Essays. Edited by Camisha Jones, Michael Northen, Naomi Ortiz, and Travis Chi Wing Lau.” Between the text boxes is an illustration by Adrean Clark. Centered is a gravelly gray city skyline made up of four flat-topped buildings jutting up from the ground. In the city’s background sits a stylized sun composed of a rust colored semi-circle with a cork-like texture and a darker rust colored border. In the foreground are two lighter gray hands in gentle fists with palm-sides facing down and thumbs touching that are signing the word “perseverance” in ASL towards the city. There are broad light and dark gray lines under the hands resembling multiple pathways. Featured Poet Image Descriptions Meg Day: A black and white photograph of a white transmasculine person (Meg Day) with short blonde hair looking off to the left. Day is wearing a black collared shirt and hearing aids. Constance Merritt: A black woman with freckles wearing a red button-down shirt DJ Savarese: A young white man with short, wavy, reddish brown hair, a goatee, and dark sunglasses is wearing a charcoal grey, short-sleeved, collared shirt, sitting in front of a cascade of cement stairs. Lateef McLeod: “I am a black man with a low top fade and a mustache. I sit in a permobile wheelchair and am wearing a black zip up sweater. A white column is behind me. Behind the column is green grass.” Andy Jackson: A smiling middle-aged white man in a green t-shirt stands in front of a vine covered-wall
