Hey NYC friends! I'll be reading tomorrow night-- Wednesday, June 5--at the wonderful @julierenszer 's book launch for The Pinko Commie Dyke. @irenaklepfisz will also read. Two poets plus me, reading fiction. @bgsqd , the best queer bookstore on this continent. 208 W 13th St, 7 PM. Sponsored by our publisher, @indolentbooks .

My friend Spencer Sunshine is one of the best writers on fascism and neo-Nazism writing today. His book Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism has just come out from Routledge, and it is a brilliant, deep dive into the origins of the contemporary white supremacist movement. Get one today! As Jared Holt says, "This book is essential reading for those hoping to understand the origins and nuances of violent right-wing extremism today." Link in comments.

LIT LIT-- Tonight's the night! This is a symbolic representation of how Lit Lit sometimes feels to me (mysterious and beautiful). Usually it's louder than that, though, rambunctious and beautiful. It's our monthly open mic night for writers in Beacon. Anything can happen, and usually does. Event goes from 7 to 9 PM @howlandculturalcenter, 477 Main St. Get there by 6:30 p.m. if you want to sign up to read! Five minutes maximum, all and any genres. We love you.
