Gay City Arts Meet the Authors: Odes For You
Feb 4
General Admission $15-$20
ODES FOR YOU is the two-woman poetry performance of celebrated internationally touring poets Shira Erlichman and Angel Nafis.
Through a 45-minute work of 7-10 interwoven poems, monologues, songs and jokes, these poets engage each other and the audience in the vibrant and unstoppable song of celebration. In the tradition of poets of Pablo Neruda, Lucille Clifton, Sharon Olds and more, these acclaimed artists explore and exalt the endless objects, behaviors, languages, impulses, people, obscenities and rituals of our everyday world. These poems observe and honor everything from the very big (love, family, universe) to the very tiny (medicine, moisturizer, voicemail) and will have you howling with joy. Grab a seat and enjoy Odes For You, a concise and bold celebration of everything.

It is Gay City’s policy that smoking and use of fragrances are prohibited on Gay City Health Project premises, including all Gay City Health Project sponsored events and activities. The health of some of our staff, volunteers, and clients may be harmed by exposure to cologne, perfume, or other fragrances–which may cause difficulty breathing, migraine headaches, flu-like symptoms and more. These symptoms are not always readily apparent and sometimes show up hours later or persist for days after an exposure.
Coming to Gay City having used fragranced products on your body or your clothing means that those who are sensitive are faced with the choice to stay and get sick or leave and be unable to access important services or do their job. We ask your help in making Gay City accessible to all by coming to Gay City fragrance free.
