Just a few moments from Birch Wiley’s book launch at @brooklynpoets . Thank you thank you to everyone who came out to support Birch and new words {press} and be in community. And to @myamatteoalexice for leading the fascinating discussion with Birch! Also a big thank you to @hex.haruspex for reading tarot! #newwordspress #transpoetry #nonbinarypoetry

Incredible things are happening at Brooklyn Poets on Monday August 4th. new words {press} celebrates the launch of Birch Wiley’s masterful collection, Mythweaver. At POFEST when people asked them what it was about, they said queer sex. So I’m going with that, but I’ll add it’s through a truly unique lens of Greco-Roman mythology. We’re also gonna have an experienced tarot reader joining us, Hex. Readings are only $25, which is basically free. nw{p} will be giving a way a reading to two lucky people. Birch will read followed by a discussion and Q&A and then book sales and signing and chatting and laughing and all that community goodness. Don’t miss this. Free to attend but you need to RSVP since the space has a capacity of 40. RSVP link in bio.
