Acclaimed queer authors Trebor Healey and Craig Laurance Gidney explore the veil between worlds in their newest books, Falling and A Spectral Hue. These are stories of artists making contact with a metaphysical or mystical reality, expanding and queering our understanding of the world we live in. Healey and Gidney’s work portrays the otherworldliness of the southern border and America’s misunderstood African-American past. Their work is an invitation to an America that could be in the wake of an America that was, an America haunted with the promise of ghosts that cannot be forgotten and that can in fact enrich us. An America not so banal to call itself great, but one that can call itself whole.
 
Reception at 7 pm, followed by reading at 7:30 pm
