Unnameable Books
600 Vanderbilt Ave, Brooklyn, NY

Featuring additional readings by Diana Hamilton, Hannah Black, and Becca Teich.

A book in two halves, Kissing Other People or the House of Fame opens with a sequence of poems that roam the grotty, sublime streets: patting rats, reading pamphlets, enduring labour, acquiring falafel, waving to friends. Then the book flips on a seam and invokes Chaucer as an unlikely guide through a series of dream-blocks, each autonomous yet resonant with attachments and perversions as they come and go, repeat and echo.

All welcome
