SUMMARY:DREAM CLOSET: Meditations on Childhood Space
DESCRIPTION:  \nDream Closet: Meditations on Childhood Space is a new anthology of poetry\, essays\, and visual art edited by Matthew Burgess and published by Secretary Press. Contributors reflect on  enclosures from their own childhood—the closet\, the fort\, the tent of bed sheets\, the inverted cardboard box—and explore their various meanings. Whether found or made\, these spaces are often sites of privacy\, of escape\, of aesthetic or erotic self-discovery\, and of queer self-identification. This event will include a reading from selected contributors and a short Q&A. \n \nEvent image by Aram Jibilian. \n  \nCheck out the Dream Closet book trailer created by friend and contributor\, Matthew Sandager.\n  \n  \n\nMelissa Febos is the author of the memoir\, Whip Smart.
