DPL AfterWord Residency: Ross Gay x Arista Alanis 8/20/26
When literature meets art, a story finds new ways to bloom. In AfterWord, explore what happens when a story moves beyond the page. An author meets an artist from another creative discipline to reimagine literature through art and conversation.
For this edition of AfterWord, author and poet Ross Gay joins painter Arista Alanis for an evening where literature and painting meet. And this pairing has a history: Alanis created the artwork on the cover of Gay’s award-winning poetry collection Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude.
