Tune in for a sneak preview Sunday September 13 8pm on KSQD Community Radio ksqd.org to hear Farnaz Fatemi talk with Jen Siraganian about her debut collection of poems, Everything Has Been Moved, Even the Dead.

The Hive will celebrate Jen's book on its official launch date next Tuesday Bookshop Santa Cruz at 7pm, where Jen will read along with Amber Coverdale Sumrall.

From publisher Perugia Press, "Jen Siraganian traces a self shaped by history, fragmentation, and memory as she weaves her family’s past in the Middle East with her identity as an Armenian-American woman and mother. Whether portraying a grandparent’s survival during the Armenian Genocide, a father’s childhood in 1940s Palestine, or a son’s birth when “death is a neighbor,” Siraganian’s poems interrogate concepts of home, origins, belonging, and displacement."
