Jessie Reyez Words of a Goat Princess Vol II:The People’s Purge Poetry Reading

Join us for an evening in discussion with artist Jessie Reyez for her new book, The People's Purge. The event will start with a reading and be followed by an audience Q&A. This is not a musical performance.

Born from a popular long-running series on her Instagram page, the latest poetic offering from pop star and bestselling author Jessie Reyez is a collection of in-the-moment poems written in response to fan-supplied prompts.

Whether being asked to write about a dead leaf on the ground, gaslighting, being ghosted by a date, abandonment, addiction, or a sunset over still waters, Jessie responds with a heartfelt original poem that turns a seed of an idea into a garden of encouragement, vulnerability, honesty, and love. The People's Purge: Words of a Goat Princess Volume II—enhanced by the unique art of French Caribbean illustrator Eloïse Diot—is the vibrant bouquet picked from this lush community garden.

Grammy-nominated and 5x Juno-winning Colombian-Canadian singer-songwriter Jessie Reyez has cemented herself as a trailblazer in pop and R&B with her raw vocals, fearless lyricism, and emotive performances.

Please note: this is strictly a literary event—there will be no musical performance, no meet-and-greet, no photo line, and no signing line—just presence, words, and conversation.

This event is presented at The Moss Theater at New Roads School at The Herb Alpert Educational Village with books provided by Diesel, A Bookstore.
