On Thursday, September 10, we’re welcoming poet Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah to NEFER for ABIDE: An Evening of Poetry, Conversation & Becoming.
Sorry I Missed Your Call, I Was Trying to Kill Myself is an unflinching, tender, deeply human collection about mental health, race, identity, self-love, and what happens when the strength everybody expects from you starts to crack.
Join us for an intimate evening of poetry, conversation, reflection, audience Q&A, and a book signing with Ewurakua.

From survival to softness.
From isolation to being held.
From carrying it all alone to finally saying, actually…this is heavy.
ABIDE is an invitation to stay.
To stay with ourselves.
To witness each other.
To sit with the things we usually rush past.
To dwell. To endure. To accompany.
To remember that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do for another person is simply stay.
