About this Event

Beacon Litfest and Live Writing are thrilled to bring you the 40th anniversary edition of the classic 1970's "fable manifesto," The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell and illustrated by Ned Asta, featuring additional new essays and archival material; and the 2024 National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, Instructions for The Lovers, by acclaimed poet and activist Dawn Lundy Martin. 


Asta and Lundy Martin will read and join in conversation with Nightboat's Publisher and Director, Stephen Motika. 


This program, supported in part by Poets & Writers, is in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Nightboat Books, founded right here in Beacon by poet Kazim Ali. 


Books will be available for sale!
