  • Lost City Books 2467 18th Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20009 United States (map)

Poetry Book Club will be meeting on Monday, June 10th, at 7 pm. We will be reading A Queen in Bucks County by Kay Gabriel.

About the book:

2023 LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD FINALIST An epistolary sequence about sex, exchange and social space set along the Northeast Corridor.In A Queen in Bucks County, our protagonist Turner, who both is and is not the writer, makes his pleasurable way through miserable space. Men "buy him things," lovers drive across state lines, users down volatile cocktails to see what happens, landlords turn tenants out, and Turner writes poetic tracts to friends about it. Part pornography, part novel, all love letter, A Queen in Bucks County is an experiment in turning language upside down to see what falls out.
