Join us here at Lake Lit to hear a wonderful reading from C. Kubasta, the author of new book, ‘Under the Tented Skin’.

“The poems in Under the Tented Skin explore the experiences of women & girls through folkloric history, discursive memory, and spectacle. Visiting and re-visiting situations all-too-common, Kubasta asks the reader to inhabit close quarters, from early socialization of girls to rural teenagerhood, to adult womanhood and its traps. She warns “I don’t throw the skins away / and I’ve been known to gnaw a bone.”

C. Kubasta is the Executive Director at Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts, Vice President of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets, and serves as Assistant Poetry editor at Brain Mill Press.
