MING Studios

Join us next Sunday for a poetry by Dena Parker Duke!

Dena is a non-native Idahoan and a rebel poet who keeps using poetry to tip the scales toward more of the words that deserve to be said and heard- especially right now.

Last December she launched her newest collection called Signs & Psalms at Rediscovered Books to a sold out crowd. She’s grateful to Ming Studios for giving another opportunity for the community to help her celebrate this book. An eclectic collection of complaints, hallelujahs, and complete exhaustion and/or surrender, it has all the essentials of life. In December she shared a set of poems from it focused on hate and hope including Poet as Prophet, American Psalm, and Build Hope. On May 3 she will share a new set focused on forgiveness and fire including White Flag, Whiplash from Elvis and Morning is Not Broken. This is your invitation to come hear more of the poems that make this book stand out at a time when poetry is crying out to be heard.
