La Convivencia by The Public Intellectual

You’re invited on Saturday, November 14, 2026, to our version of a literary salon: La Convivencia.

The energy behind La Convivencia is inspired by the spirit of the Spanish word convivir: the act of sharing space and presence in a way that creates connection. The theme for our next dinner is inspired by the American poet, Thomas Sayers Ellis. For this dinner we are asking what brought you to reading and writing? Bring any piece of writing that made you stay. Think poem, song lyrics, books etc.

We’ll gather in the apartment above Shanti Yoga in St. Louis on South Kingshighway Blvd. Over small bites and libations, we hope to embody the spirit of convivir. We will see you soon. Nos vemos pronto ♡.
