Join us for a celebratory evening of poetry, conversation, and connection as we mark the U.S. launch of Beyond Life is Poetry, a powerful new anthology by the Haitian literary collective Les Amazones.



This unique event honors the strength and creativity of Haitian women through poetry that spans continents and languages. With readings and reflections in French, Haitian Creole, and English, the evening highlights the voices and visions of women across generations and borders.


The two themes explored are: Voice of Resilience and Women and Revolution—inviting us into a shared space of creativity, memory, and empowerment.

The night will feature a panel conversation with contributors to the anthology, offering insight into their creative process and the themes that unite their work. From personal healing to collective resistance, the poems in this collection are a testament to the transformative power of language.


Our author panel will be followed by a Q&A session, a book signing, a glass of wine, and a Haitian-themed buffet.
