Join Birchbark Books and Native Arts as we welcome beloved author Hanif Abdurraqib, who will talk about his most recent book, "There's Always This Year." No matter the subject of his keen focus – whether it’s basketball, or music, or performance – Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry, always profound, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture, our country, and ourselves. "There’s Always This Year" is a triumph, brimming with joy, pain, solidarity, comfort, outrage, and hope. This event will dedicate most of the time for Q&A, so please plan to come with your questions! Collaborator: Birchbark Books.
