The following description comes from the event organizer.

Dan Kaplan’s 2.4.18 (Spuyten Duyvil) is an erasure of the February 4, 2018 issue of The New York Times, a book that distorts fact, erodes context, and considers what may (not) be newsworthy. Poet Simone Muench describes the book as “...the brilliant oddball at the party who shows up donned in a ‘costume of bubbles’ inquiring about the ‘geometry of a wing.’ It’s the person you keep conversing with long after the party’s over.” We Sailed on the Lake (Bunny Presse), Bill Carty’s second collection of poetry, consists of lyrics of spiraling awareness. As a signal lamp, unused, mirrors the sky, these poems reflect approaching storms, near-misses, and the violence inherent in nature, country, and economy. Rising star and spoken word poet Jae Nichelle debuts her luminous thoughts in God Themselves (Andrews McMeel), a new collection of stirring poetry. Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman to courageously confront the effects of a forced religion and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body.
