The Feminist Bookstore Reading Series & Open Mic Featuring Rebecca Jane at The Feminist Bookstore in San Diego, CA on Sunday, June 14, 2026.
Join us for a queer-friendly, feminist reading series at The Feminist Bookstore in Mission Hills! Our series celebrates diverse voices alongside a featured reader. Before or after the main reading, we have a generative workshop where attendees get a prompt and write for 10 minutes. This helps generate new material that attendees can share at the open mic portion. After that, the microphone is open for attendees to share up to 3 minutes of prose, poetry, or music in an inclusive, welcoming space. Tickets are free, and we invite all to participate and amplify their voices. Hosted by Jaded Ibis Press, a nonprofit feminist press dedicated to socially engaged literature by marginalized voices, this series promises an inspiring night of creativity and community. Feature: Rebecca Jane is the Author of the Poetry Collection, She Bleeds Sestinas, and the new manager at The Feminist Bookstore! Following characters from realms of the fantastic, sacred, ethereal, and realistic, She Bleeds Sestinas is an imaginative journey exploring the intersection of spirituality and art. A collection of poems which pairs Shaivite yoga practice with French formal poetry, this book offers a unique discipline to meditate and transcend grief. By imagining the poetic form of the sestina as the ideal companion for Kundalini Shakti—the powerful energy that moves up and down the spine in spirals—the connected poems seek to both enrich and derail the sincere spiritual seeker’s journey through daily practice. She Bleeds Sestinas presents a unique perspective on spirituality, combining poetry and yoga to create a powerful tool for personal transformation. Both poetic and practical, it provides readers with the guidance they need to navigate their spiritual journey with grace and discipline. Emcee: Elizabeth Earley: I am the author of the popular Substack series, Queering Reality, with 100,000 subscribers. My debut memoir in essays, *Little Deaths All in a Row,…
