45–120 Book Launch and Performance
Thursday 5th February, 19:00
Join us on Thursday, February 5 at 7pm to celebrate the publication of 45–120, a bilingual poetry anthology (English and Spanish) edited by Juf and published by Caniche Editorial. The questions of space that the anthology brings to the fore are emphasized and amplified on this occasion through an introduction by Juf co-directors Bea Ortega Botas and Leto Ybarra; readings by Kyle Dacuyan and Elijah Jackson; and a performance by Geo Wyex, Nobody Wade Never Too Much Again.
The performance will explore different aspects of improvisation and magic as a professor from the fictional Muck Studies Department reaches into the bottoms of shallow, murky waters so that a certain squelch of history and meaning can emerge through disappearances of objects and redirections in space.
