Brandeis University’s Rose Art Museum. Co-sponsored by the creative writing program.

Anthony DiPietro, Deputy Director of the Rose Art Museum, will be launching his debut poetry collection, kiss & release (Unsolicited Press). I’ll be reading from my work in support.

About the book: You may assume “this is a failed romantic gesture” or else “the best thing that happened to sex/since the devil invented it.” If a poetry book could sleep around, get divorced, and fall in love with a hookup, that book would be kiss & release. If a book could kill a snake to revive a dead lover, this one would. This book parties, hollers (and whispers) at hotties, and craves escape: “I will invent a way.” If you’ve ever been bored during group sex, this book’s for you. Do not read while driving: the book’s already driving too fast, singing loudly, and using Siri to reply to fuckboys.
