Please join us on Friday 12 December, 6-8pm for a SIN BUG - a live reading and installation by CAConrad.
SIN BUG is a new book by poet-activist CAConrad combining essay, memoir and (Soma)tic poetry rituals. Documenting the pervasive homophobic violence of the 1980s and the overwhelming losses of AIDS, this work is an unwavering testament to queer resilience. CA’s text forms a resounding incantation to friends and lovers lost.
SIN BUG is the first book published by Tenderbooks as part of the Open Narratives programme.
Open Narratives is a publishing and events programme highlighting LGBTQIA+ voices through a series of newly commissioned printed matter, live readings, exhibitions and workshops. Open Narratives at Tenderbooks is funded by Arts Council England.
