Upcoming Events
April 1-2, 2024
Fresno, California
Cal State Fresno: CSU Summer Arts
I will be on campus talking about Summer Arts. If you are a student or professor, please get in touch. I'd be happy to visit your class. As usual, I'm always happy to just discuss Summer Arts, or offer something from my own work too.
April 2-5, 2024
San Francisco, California
San Francisco State University
I have a few days of events and classroom visits at SFSU, but there is still time for you if you are a student or faculty, please get in touch so that I can add you to my schedule. Social Action Writing: Creating Community and Perspective is going to be a great course this summer. Applications open in January.
April 9, 2024 7 p.m. PST
Online/Zoom
This is the launch of the new Sinister Wisdom issue and you can join us.
"Sinister Wisdom" 132: "How Can a Woman Who Is with a Trans Man Call Herself a Lesbian?" continues conversations instigated by "Sinister Wisdom" 128: Trans/Feminisms exploring writings and reflections by lesbians whose partners are trans, including new work by Minnie Bruce Pratt and Kimberly Dark. Join editor Allison Blevins and contributors for a wonderful evening celebrating and exploring the intersecting and interdependent lives of lesbians and transpeople.
May 5, 2024
Chicago, Illinois
I can't resist including this event even so far in advance. My queer polyamorous son and his delightful nesting partner, Meggie, are getting married. Their reinventions of love and commitment and family make the world a better place. I will be in Chicago for the festivities...

Hugo House: Making Meaning in Memoir
Memories aren’t enough to make a memoir. To make a great story, we have to connect our memories to culture, to history, to zeitgeist—and then be as clear and specific about our unique perspectives as possible. In this generative workshop, we’ll open a number of creative doorways (and windows and portholes and tunnels) into meaning and discuss how and why they work. Participants will leave with at least twelve new prompts for mining memory and life stories for deeper meaning.
May 28-June 1, 2024
Honolulu, Hawaii
National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Ed
I'm thrilled to be at NCORE again this year and presenting a short workshop on Reframing Problems to Generate Solutions. This is about linguistic reframing, y'all, a skill that makes us better listeners too. You'll also find me for book signings in the Speakout Booth in the exhibit hall.
June 24 - July 7, 2024
Fresno, California
CSU Summer Arts- Social Action Writing: Creating Community and Perspective
I'm so looking forward to spending time with you and all of the other amazing Summer Artisans. Look at Bushra Rehman's work (and read her new novel, Roses in the Mouth of a Lion) because she'll be one of your teachers and co-conspirators. Also look up Faith Adiele who is with us through the course. You won't be sorry. Applications open in January 2024.
October 23-26, 2024
Auckland, New Zealand
International Symposium on Poetic Inquiry
I'll be presenting online at the symposium with a fine group of folks using poetry in research in the social sciences. I'm always thrilled to spend time with them. And while I'm in New Zealand, I'd be happy to offer what I can to other groups too. Please get in touch and we'll work it out.
November 14-17, 2024
Detroit, Michigan
National Women's Studies Association Conference
I'm thrilled to present with other authors. More information to come.

"The balance between objectivity and intimate analysis certainly gives Dark an edge and has made her a force to be reckoned with on every level..." — Evening Echo (Cork, Ireland) "Dark's performance was so packed with information, humor, and poetry... One thing is certain: her show is a must-see!" — The Scribe (Colorado Springs, CO) |
