Hosted by Roundtable Books Location: Brixton Village Studios – 404-406 Coldharbour Lane, Brixton SW9 8LF
join us for joyful poems that celebrate all that is best about our queer community/ies and lives. This is not an ‘explain it to the straights’ book, this is for us. LGBTQ+ readers can open this book at random and find a moment of poetic queer joy for themselves, however big or small. We are expecting the launch to be just as wide-ranging and joyful.
The poems in the book find joy in the simplest (or most complex) things. Love, sex, a quiet night in, dancing with friends, nurturing of and from our community, recognition from allies, a welcome from strangers, celebrating our cultural icons… the identity-affirming haircut, the right jeans, books, walking, food, flint-knapping… and political action.
With readings from Abhi, Alexander Williams, Becky Brookfield, Cherry Potts, Elizabeth Gibson, Jeremy Dixon, Rick Dove, Sophia Blackwell, Steph Morris, Tanya Erin Sheehan,Tom McLaughlin, Zo Copeland.
Price: £8.00. (please pre-book!)
Time: 7:00pm
