SUMMARY:Book launch: WATCHNIGHT by Cyrée Jarelle Johnson (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading/conversation with Cyrée Jarelle Johnson\, Joselia Hughes\, Zefyr Lisowski\, and Danilo Machado to celebrate the release of WATCHNIGHT (Nightboat Books).  \nIn exhilarating lyric poems and chiseled prose blocks\, Cyrée Jarelle Johnson charts the history of his family alongside the history of Watchnight—a churchy holiday of messianic tarrying—and steps through portals to render the human faces of American internal migration and mass displacement—from countryside to city and back again. Spanning from 1803 to a near-future rife with class tension and racial anxiety\, WATCHNIGHT is a study of Black bonds\, Black grief\, and Black flight. \n\n\nCopies of WATCHNIGHT  (Nightboat Books\, 2024\, paperback\, $17.95) will be available for purchase and signing. To reserve a copy\, please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve a copy of Watchnight” in the subject line. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @bgsqd \n  \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \n
