Join us for an evening of readings and winter warmth to celebrate the 2nd edition of Not here: a Queer Anthology of Loneliness. Dress code: Communist Christmas!
What does it mean to be lonely? 31 contemporary artists, poets and performers including Olivia Laing, Colby Keller, Timothy Thornton, Marc Hundley, Alice Goodman, Verity Spott, Charlie Porter and David Hoyle consider the queer experience of loneliness in the debut publication from Pilot Press.
Founded in London by Richard Dodwell, Pilot Press aims to shed new light on contemporary queer lives.
For this event at Housmans, Richard Dodwell will be joined by Timothy Thornton ('Controlled Explosions' Penguin Modern Poets, PLANES, Yard Theatre) and Verity Spott (Click Away Close Door Say, Contraband Books, TRANS* MANIFESTOS, Shit Valley) for an evening of readings, chit chat and things that are nice mulled.
