Queer Bookclub in May offers an extra treat as we host Nikki Pimentel, the author of "In My Mind's Eye" ! Nikki will be co-facilitating our discussion about their book, offering personal insight into the inspirations, creative process, and lived experiences behind the work. Readers can expect an open, affirming, and heartfelt conversation; one that honors the vulnerability within the pages and welcomes all questions, reflections, and connections readers bring to the table.

“In My Mind's Eye” is a bilingual (English/Spanish) debut poetry collection by local author Nikki Pimentel. Written from lived experience as a queer, trans, neurodivergent, Latine person, the collection takes readers on an intimate journey through trauma, healing, identity, and family challenges. This is a book that invites readers to sit with the full complexity of a life including the griet, the tenderness, the reclamation, and the joy of becoming. As always, no need to sign up for Queer Bookclub- just cozy in with a drink and a snack to explore with us!
