You're invited to the Beacon launch of CHILDLESS MILLENNIAL by Chiara Di Lello.

Join us Tuesday, 1/27 for an evening of poetry and conversation. The event is free to attend, and copies of Chiara's chapbook will be available for purchase. See you there!

Childless Millennial is a rallying cry for a label reclaimed with pride. This book is a blueprint-by-amalgamation for what a fulfilling non-reproducing life can be. Drawing inspiration from as disparate sources as her own non-biological mother figures, the act of nurturing of other people's children, and the natural world, Chiara Di Lello's chapbook cuts against the expectation of compulsory motherhood. Through a multi-generational dive into her own Ukrainian immigrant family, she wrestles with the choice to be child-free and its thorny entanglements with gender and culture. Childless Millennial rejects expectations and forges its own answers to what makes a meaningful life.

Doors at 6:30 PM
