If I Were Erol - Kaan K/Yas Necati - 14 Poems Book Launch
Sold Out
Gay's The Word is delighted to partner with 14 Poems for the book launch of Kaan K/Yas Necati's solo pamphlet IF I WERE EROL on Thursday 22nd August from 7-8pm at the bookshop. Kaan K/Yas Necati will be performing alongside three other fantastic poets Rona Luo, Rayanne Chami, and drag king and poet Aphroditos for an evening not to be missed!
IF I WERE EROL is the debut pamphlet from drag king and gal-dem gender columnist Kaan K/Yas Necati, looking at the writer's Cypriot/British mixed heritage, and how it intersects with their non-binary gender identity. In these poems, Kaan travels back to Cyprus, playing with cultural norms of language and naming to imagine a new world for themselves. Whether that's through rugs, barbers, or the food that’s sprinkled throughout, these poems are about resolving to heal supposed cultural conflicts and find a new, queer space for the self.
All tickets include a free drink upon arrival (non-alcoholic options available) and books will be for sale before and after the event.
We'll see you there!
