Join Pen Parentis on November 12th at 7pm ET for their “Politics of Parenthood” salon in conversation with Cari Luna, Stephen O’Connor, Jennifer Case, and Jessica Pearce Rotondi! Learn more HERE.
How does parenthood shape our politics—and our art? Join the Pen Parentis Literary Salon for an evening of readings and conversation exploring how the challenges and nuances of raising children influence not only what we write but also how we view the world. This event delves into the powerful ways family life impacts both creative work and political perspectives.
The evening will also honor Helen Spencer, our newly named 2025 Pen Parentis Writing Fellow, presented by 2024 Fellow Taylor Hobbs. Don’t miss this chance to see how literature, parenthood, and political consciousness converge in a unique and resonant dialogue.
On the second Tuesday of each month September through May, Pen Parentis celebrates the creative dedication of a new group of writers who are also parents through short readings followed by Q&A.
The Pen Parentis Literary Salons are supported by The de Groot Foundation.
