Join an evening of poetry readings and celebrate the launch of local poet RJ Equality Ingram’s new poetry book, Peacock Lane.
Peacock Lane is a choose-your-own-adventure told through a deck of poems masquerading as tarot cards, each poem a door, a dare, a misdirection. Blurring the lines between pop culture criticism, fan fiction and neighborhood gossip, it traces the slippery performances of the Dandy and the Trickster as they wander a street that glows too brightly and remembers too much. This is a book that fell asleep with the TV on and woke up mid-transformation: a Gemini-Cancer cusp of sentimentality and spectacle, tenderness and sabotage.
