Protest as Love Poem - Book Launch + Open Mic

Book Launch + Open Mic @ArtsConnect
A finalist for the 2025 Birdy Poetry Prize, Huascar Medina’s highly anticipated third book of poetry, Protest as Love Poem, is a four-part expression of love through defiant truths and collective survival.
An urgent rebuttal to apathy, Protest as Love Poem is a plea for intimate authority and a call for a revolution. It is both political and personal, endearing and indignant—a direct request to feel more, not less, in this present moment.
A portion of this book’s proceeds will be donated to El Centro de Topeka
