Have you missed us? Lese Majeste is BACK BABY! and this time in a collaboration special with the one and only Eff-Able 🔥
An eff-ing good book launch!
Expect a night of queer crip spiciness as Lese Majeste and the eff-able guys bring you an erotic extravaganza of cabaret, poetry, and spoken word. Hosted by Cyro, with performances from Carmen Emissions and Major Dom, join us to welcome eff-able – an anthology of sweat, sex, and self-love by disabled and queer poets – to the world, bookshelves… and your bed! There’ll be live readings from eff-able contributors Arden Fitzroy, Arlo Kean, Claire Smith, Gayathiri Kamalakanthan, Libro Levi Bridgeman, and Rick Dove, as well as an introduction from co-creators, George Parker and JP Seabright, and the chance to buy a copy of eff-able.
eff-able is published by fourteen poems and is available to pre-order and buy on their website. To learn more about the anthology, the eff-able philosophy, and the poets, visit effable.uk and be sure to follow them on social media.
