Another thing, we've been aptly keeping quiet as possible, A Gathering of the Tribes will be hosting a two-day Marathon reading opening weekend at the Whitney Biennial, featuring nearly 100 Tribes poets, authors and performers, in a massive durational performance celebrating Steve Cannon's amazing legacy of radical inclusion, provocation, avant-guardianship, and the intellectual/creative spirit that is the lifeblood of this diverse community.

“This is true in every part of life: There are rules that are there to keep people in power, and if you’re outside of those rules—first they tell you that those rules are the reason you can’t get in, and then if you break the rules, they tell you that breaking the rules is the reason you can’t get in. But you can’t get in either way, so you might as well break the rules.”

There is still one day left to get in for year-end donation.
Over the last theee weeks, we’ve raised more than $40,000 for A Gathering of the Tribes ongoing programs with help from major donors like David Hammons, Kati Duncan, Andy Mims, Hilary Maslon and the Christopher and David Murray Fund of the Stonewall Community Foundation, as well as through support from numerous small donors.
Whether it’s $10 or $1000, your help is deeply appreciated. Tribes could not continue without support from the public.
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization, we  published more than 100 new, original works by contemporary and diverse poets and writers, including fiction, reviews, poetry and personal essays. We enjoy a readership of approximately 50k individuals, annually, bringing the work of traditionally under-represented authors to a wide audience.
Through commissions of new poetry, prose and visual art, as well as stipends for volunteer work, and live readings, Tribes has distributed more than $20,000 to contemporary artists and writers of diversity in the last year alone.
I hope you will consider lending your support. Happy new year from all of us at A Gathering of the Tribes!!

"If H.D.’s poems tend toward existential bleakness, then Townend’s photos pull us back from the brink. Skillfully skirting the sublime, his images lend the beauty to her poetry as they both quietly carry out the hit. From there, the hybrid haiku is born: Light Wounds is a most beautiful assassin."
