To celebrate Isadora Neves Marques’ latest poetry book, Biography of a Fiction, we are very happy to invite you for a reading at the bookstore, followed by a special screening of 3 films by Isadora at L’Archipel!
❣ 7 pm – After 8 Books – Launch & Reading ❣
Biography of a Fiction collects poems written between 2020 to 2025. These poems were written in a diaristic way, mostly in short form, while working on larger pieces, some of which also collected here or elsewhere. What started, seemingly, as notes on reproductive desire, gender, and sexuality soon matured into a meditation on the role of fiction in the exercise of writing (and idealizing) a biography, including the thorny aspect of artistic license and the uses of one’s own life and of others.
❣ 9 pm – L’Archipel – Screening ❣
