  Milk Tooth #1: Re/Generation (Poetry Zine)

  19:00Lettrétage e.V. in der Veteranenstraße 21, Eintritt frei

  Reading

  

  The Milk Tooth Poetry Collective is a group of writers devoted to a poetics of expansiveness, rigor, and mutual support. Our first poetry zine explores the topics of generation and regeneration through poems that span the radically political to the deeply personal. Collectively, our work ponders what is born from the ruins of the past. What possibilities can we gestate by mining the darkness? And what might our external and psychic landscapes have to teach us about renewal?

  To celebrate the launch, Mieke Strand, Chinyere Enyinna, Alison Rhoades, Chad Young, Collin Brennan, and Haley Stewart will read their work, with an introduction by poet Tracy Fuad.

  

  Mieke Strand is a documentary photographer and poet based in Berlin. She grew up in a small town in Minnesota that was known for having more colleges than movie theaters, and more movie theaters than stoplights. In her photography and writing, she explores the way that our experience and memory of place shape us. Her favorite season in Berlin is winter.

  

  Chinyere Enyinna is a Berlin-based Lagosian poet whose work orbits lineage, motherhood and the sometimes wild memories the body holds on. Her poems linger in spaces where names are misheard, language is fractured and love leaves deep marks.

  

  Alison Rhoades is a writer, artist, and Queen of Cups. Hailing from the cornfields of North Central Illinois, her writing concerns itself with unruly feminine archetypes, language(s) of embodiment, and motherhood. She lives in Berlin.

  

  Chad Young is a Brooklyn-born, Berlin-based cultural researcher, writer and emerging poet. A child of Jamaican parents with little record of their lineage, his poems explore loss as a pathway to earthly and ancestral connection.

  

  Collin Brennan is a writer from California’s San Fernando Valley. He has organized and moderated poetry workshops from Chicago to Berlin. His own poems engage with the history of form and the spiritual ambivalence of contemporary life.

  

  Haley Stewart is a researcher and instructor in the field of Latin American aesthetics and media writing a doctoral dissertation on Chilean and Bolivian literature and art. She is from Portland, Oregon and has lived between Berlin and Berkeley, California since 2019. Her research and writing focus on questions of landscape, place and memory and the idea, central to her field of scholarship, that “we are where we think.”

  

  Tracy Fuad is a poet and writer based in Berlin. Her second collection of poetry, PORTAL, won the Phoenix Emerging Poets’ Prize and was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2024. A 2023 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Fuad’s poems have appeared in The Paris Review, The Yale Review, Poetry Daily, and elsewhere, and have been translated into German, Kurdish, Turkish and Spanish. She lives in Berlin, where she teaches poetry and directs the Berlin Writers’ Workshop.
