Rad Queer Reading and Mental Makeover with Lonely Christopher, Dazié Grego-Sykes, and Julian Mithra
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Please join us for a reading by three front-line and innovative queer writers who will light up Fabulosa Books with a spectrum of perspectives. Lonely Christopher, a prolific and challenging multi-genre writer, is in from Brooklyn and will read from his three titles that came out during covid. Dazié Grego-Sykes is known for his solo plays as well as his poetry, prose, and performance style, and will read us exactly what we need to hear. And Julian Mithra will read from their newest book Unearthingly, a compelling collection of faux-found texts that exposes the foundations of an old Western mining town.
These three unique voices will definitely rev and enhance you, so please stop by for a spiritual and cultural makeover.

Dazié Grego-Sykes
Lonely Christopher
and Julian Mithra
Hosted by Richard Loranger
PERFORMER BIOS
Lonely Christopher is the author of five books, most recently the poetry collections Death & Disaster Series and In a January Would. He is the founding creative director of Inter Poets Theater, managing director of the Segue Foundation, and an editor for Roof Books. His plays have been presented in Canada, China, and the United States. His film credits include several international shorts and the feature MOM, which he wrote a directed. He works for homeless queer youth and lives in Brooklyn.
Dazié Rustin Grego-Sykes holds a B.A. from The Experimental Performance Institute and an M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts and Writing from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Dazié is most notably known for writing, performing and touring his award-winning solo plays Nigga-Roo and Am I A Man. Currently he is working as an Associate Artistic Director for Skywatchers a community-based performance art ensemble in San Francisco. Look for his original collection of poetry titled Black Faggotry and his debut spoken-word album titled Make Me Black.
Julian Mithra hovers between genders and genres, border-mongering and -mongreling. An experimental archive, Unearthingly (KERNPUNKT, 2022) excavates forgotten spaces. If the Color Is Fugitive (Nomadic Press, 2018) historically intervenes in frontiers and was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award in poetry. KALEIDOSCOPE (Ethel Press, 2021) flexes embodiment against alphabetic constraints. Find recent poems in Arriving at a Shoreline, NYET Zero, warm milk and prose in Punt Volat and forthcoming from Museum of Americana and Storm Cellar. They're cobbling together a record of trans*masculinity in a speculative Philadelphia, 1829, where natural scientists rivaled evangelical millenarianists for insight into the sublunary and sublime.
