Last Perfectly Queer at Books Inc. Castro

The 2016 Pride Poetry Panel will be the last Perfectly Queer at Books Inc. Castro. Very sadly, the bookstore is closing in mid-June after 20 years in the gayborhood. Perfectly Queer continues however in July at Books Inc. Opera Plaza in San Francisco. But Monday, June 13, congregate one more time to the Castro to celebrate poetry and the joy of Queer books. Poets MK Chavez, Nico Peck, James J. Siegel and Jezebel Delilah X read from their latest chapbooks and poetry collections. Champagne and chocolate at 6:45pm. Readings begin at 7pm. A panel discussion on writing Queer poetry will follow the readings. Book sales and signing to support the poets. Make poetry profitable, y'all!  https://www.facebook.com/events/207796866274145/

Starts with 'A'

One of our "Starts with 'A'" authors:

Avery Garland Cassell is an older genderqueer San Francisco writer, poet, cartoonist, and artist who grew up in Iran. You can find their erotic short stories sprinkled in various anthologies, including Best Lesbian Erotica 2015 and Sex Still Spoken Here. Avery is currently working on a book of more of Behrouz and Lucky's shenanigans, a memoir, and an illustrated early reader children's book about an eight-year-old transgender boy and his family.

Behrouz Gets Lucky is a romantic, literary, kinky, and political novel about two older San Francisco queers - a butch dyke gardener named Lucky and a genderqueer librarian named Behrouz. A coffee date at Café Flore in the Castro sparks a fiery trans masculine relationship that ends with the couple eating falafel in bed at 3 am half way around the world in a Tehran, Iran hotel room. Forced gentrification in modern San Francisco goads Behrouz and Lucky to find their own uniquely sexy way of reclaiming the city's lost queer spaces. Behrouz Gets Lucky is also tenderly sensual – an immersive novel, full of fragrances, delicious food, delirious sexual touch, dandy fashion, and beauty.
