Audiences will hear from the 40th anniversary edition of the classic 1970's "fable manifesto," The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell and illustrated by Ned Asta, featuring additional new essays and archival material.

Also featured will be the 2024 National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, Instructions for The Lovers, by poet and activist Dawn Lundy Martin. Implementing "... vulnerability and virtuosity, Martin constructs moments of pleasure, humor, and sexiness woven with grief..."
