Brandon Gorley review Bhanu Kapil
Student Brandon Gorley reacts to Bhanu Kapil’s BathHouse reading: I greatly enjoyed the Bhanu Kapil reading.

Paul Bone reviews Bhanu Kapil
Student Paul Bone offers his reaction to Bhanu Kapil’s recent BathHouse reading: Bhanu’s Project For Future Children Humanimal is probably a text that everybody reads differently, considering the interesting subject matter and multiple narratives in the story.
