A night of poetry with Kate MacAlister
Cafe Camus, May 17th, 8pm
burn it all down then kiss me
“When we share our stories, we realize that we
are not alone. We begin to see the system
behind violence, injustice, and exploitation.
Telling our story is the connecting moment to take action and to initiate change.”
Kate MacAlister
Kate MacAlister is a poet, feminist activist, and founder of the multilingual community arts and literature project Stimmen der Rebellion/Dengê Berxwedane/Voices of Rebellion. She developed her writing practice under Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy studying Creative Writing and Poetry at the Manchester School of Art
MacAlister's poetry weaves a mesmerizing tapestry of ritual magic and transformative flames. She defies traditional forms, using the melodic cadence of an arcane spell to captivate her readers. Themes of the female body, the interaction with the earth, and the power of connection are intertwined in her work.
Kate MacAlister is a poet who dares to challenge the world's injustices and ground her poetry in revolutionary practice of intersectional feminism. Her works are an unapologetic call to action, an awakening of the dormant energy within, and a love song to those who stand up for a world free from patriarchal oppression.
She has published two collections of poetry ('songs of the blood', Querencia Press 2022 & 'burn it all down the kiss me', Sunday Mornings at the River, 2023) and countless poems in magazines worldwide.
