VIRTUAL, Launch of Sinister Wisdom 134: Lives of Common Lesbians

October 15 @ 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM PDT

Free

Join Sinister Wisdom for “Lives of Common Lesbians,” a tribute of words, art, and conversation for Common Lives/Lesbian Lives, the iconic lesbian-feminist journal. Common Lives, Lesbian Lives was a part of the vibrant women in print activism during the Women’s Liberation Movement; lesbians and feminists published books, newsletters, newspapers, and periodicals like Common Lives, Lesbian Lives, bringing important words and work to readers and activists. A collective of lesbians based in Iowa City, Iowa, published Common Lives, Lesbian Lives from 1980 until 1994.

This year, Sinister Wisdom, a multicultural lesbian literary journal, pays tribute to Common Lives, Lesbian Lives with the fall 2024 issue, Sinister Wisdom 134: Lives of Common Lesbians. Sinister Wisdom, founded in 1976 and publishing continuously since, preserves lesbian-feminist pasts and envisions new futures with broad and bold imagination for lesbians and queer women. Sinister Wisdom 134: Lives of Common Lesbians reflects on the meanings of Common Lives, Lesbian Lives and the voices of common lesbians writing today. Sinister Wisdom is thrilled to launch this issue as a part of the Circa 2024 festival. Join us for readings, stories, artwork, conversations about Common Lives/Lesbian Lives, and an exploration of everyday lesbian lives today. Register for the Zoom event on October 15, 2024, at 5 P.M. PT (8 P.M. ET) at sinisterwisdom.org/events.
