“Come hear what the poets are talking about: hopeful futures, video games, and the weird fears underneath it all. Three local writers share new words and crowd favorites. Brian U. Garrison’s latest chapbook, The Future is Antifascist, is a reminder for folks to confirm their voter registration. Katherine Quevedo’s forthcoming book, Extra Lives in Verse, puts a new spin on pixels. Richard Leis works on an active Mars mission and will read from his speculative and dark poetry.”

“Join us for an evening of speculative poetry featuring three local poets whose work explores imagined futures, fantastical worlds, identity, ecology, resistance, and everything that poetry can make strange and luminous. Brian U. Garrison, Katherine Quevedo, and Haley Bossé will each take the floor for a featured reading, with their books available for purchase throughout the evening. Come discover poetry from the speculative edges. 🔮📚”
