Join us for the launch of Making Kin II: Plants for an evening exploring xenofiction and its potential to grasp the world from the perspective of a non-human other. Catalina Imizcoz, director of Cthulhu Books, and contributors Bianca Baldi and Anastasia Eggers will present their work with a conversation about the Making Kin series, followed by beautiful authors’ readings. 

Join us for a reading and conversation with Claire Star Finch to celebrate the publication of their first novel Fuck Me Judith. A groundbreaking, anachronistic experiment in literature informed by the counter traditions of New Narrative and queer writing. Claire Star will share excerpts from the novel and then be joined in conversation by Chloe Chignell. 

Join us for a writing workshop by Claire Star Finch. Following in the footsteps of poets who use constraints to generate unexpected and powerful works we will explore Easy-to-Read’s Language’s constraints to experiment with a language of radical simplicity, full of rhythms and sounds. We will cut, move, and rearrange words to create texts that are both accessible and unique.

We are delighted to welcome you for a reading by poet, writer and translator Cecilia Pavón. A cofounder of Buenos Aires’s independent art space and publishing press Belleza y Felicidad—where a whole generation of soon-to-be-famous Argentine artists showed their work for the first time—Pavón pioneered the use of “unpoetic” and intimate content—her verses often lifted from text messages or chat rooms, her tone often impish, yet brutally sincere. The reading will move from her nineties gaze up to her most recent work. It will be followed by a conversation with poet and programmer Jimena Casas.

Join us for the launch of Dear Enheduanna by poet Erin Honeycutt, published by Ugly Duckling press 2025. Part prayer, part performance, part poetic treatise, Dear Enheduanna "is an erotic romp through language and lesbian history." (LA Warman) On the occasion of the launch we are joined by Erin Honeycutt, neneh noï and Chloe Chignell. After the reading they will talk about the inversions and perversions of moving between reader-author, writer-publisher, translation-invocation and anarchist publishing practices. 

Join us for the launch of Bodies of Sound, a resonant exploration of feminist sonic cultures and radical listening. We will be joined by editors Irene Revell and Sarah Shin, and contributors Stoffel Debuysere, Xenia Benivolski, Anna Raimondo and Julia Eckhardt. Welcome!

Welcome to the launch of 45-120, a bilingual anthology of poetry edited by Juf project and published by Caniche editorial, 2025. The publication brings together the work of eighteen contemporary poets to reflect on how political, social, sexual, racial, class, and accessibility factors shape our notions of personal space. We will be joined by editors Bea Ortega Botas and Leto Ybarra for a reading and presentation.

Join us for the launch of MAKAN #3 / Synthetic Agencies. The journal, published by Think Tanger, explores themes of control, resistance and the architectures of the unseen. We will be joined by MAKAN's editor-in-chief Ali T. As’ad and publication director Hicham Bouzid alongside Fehras Publishing Practices and Saba Innab and Nuha Innab from OPPA Research Architecture. The event was made possible through the collaboration of Tashattot Collective.

Join us for the launch of Blackout by Yann Chateigné Tytelman, translated from french by Clem Clement and published by Les Fugitives 2025. Neither diary, nor essay, nor short story, Blackout is a weaving, a braid made from lines of silence. Through fragments it tells a story of a dispossession, of an entry into darkness. After the reading Yann will be joined by Grégory Castéra to discuss the book and its translation. 

Join us for the launch of Exocapitalism – Economies with absolutely no limits (becoming press 2025), with authors Roberto Alonso Trillo and Marek Poliks. Exocapitalism is a rigorous account of the dynamics of capitalism today through an in-depth exposition of software, speculative finance, and the highest scales of arbitrage.

You—and a book of your choice—are warmly invited to join the social text* reading group. For this next edition of social text* we encourage you to bring the book you’ve been busy with all summer or the book on your summer reading list that you didn’t get to finish. Curious to know what kept you reading over hot days, and what didn’t make it to the beach.

Join us for the launch of Répondeur (Occasional Papers, 2025) by Slow Reading Club. With readings by Slow Reading Club, Will Holder, and Alicja Melzacka. Joined by Daniel Dariel on drums.
