SUMMARY:Disturb + Enrapture: An ASSARACUS launch reading
DESCRIPTION:RSVP TO THIS EVENT HERE \nJoin Sibling Rivalry Press and the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division for a celebration of Issue 30 of Assaracus: A Journal of Gay and Queer Poetry\, with readings by Assaracus contributors Cheryl Boyce-Taylor\, JP Howard\, Dylan Richmond\, Ethan Richmond\, Steven Riel\, D. A. Schorr\, Robert Siek\, and Isaiah Vianese. \nFounded in 2011 by Sibling Rivalry Press\, Assaracus is a journal devoted to publishing gay and queer poets and documenting the breadth of queer experience. After publishing 25 issues during its original run\, Assaracus returned in 2025 with a renewed commitment to creating space for queer voices across generations\, geographies\, identities\, and aesthetics. Issue 30 marks another milestone in that continuing history\, and additionally includes work by Guillermo Filice Castro\, Brody Parrish Craig\, Randi M. Romo\, Daniel Nathan Terry\, and Emanuel Xavier\, plus features from The Library of Homosexual Congress\, Jerry Wheeler\, Gavin Dillard\, and Ian Young. \nSibling Rivalry Press is an independent publishing house founded in 2010 and based in Little Rock\, Arkansas. For more than fifteen years\, SRP has championed poetry\, fiction\, memoir\, and other work that amplifies LGBTQ+ voices and builds literary community across boundaries. Its mission is to publish work that disturbs and enraptures.   \nCome celebrate the poets\, the journal\, and\, above all\, the queer literary community. \nAdmission is free. \nThe Bureau of General Services—Queer Division is Manhattan’s only queer bookstore\, located on the second floor of the LGBT Center. We’re open Tuesday-Sunday from 1-7pm and accessible by the 6th Ave 1 2 3 L trains and 8th Ave A C E trains. Our cafe\, The Bureau Cafe\, is open Tuesday-Sunday from 9am-7pm.
