Emanuel Xavier Radiance & Sam Sax All The Rage Official Book Readings & Signings

July 28, 2016 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

$5

 

Join us for the launch of Emanuel Xavier‘s Radiance & Sam Sax‘s All The Rage.

 

“Emanuel Xavier’s newest book radiates in diverse directions, back into a past of New York club kid glamour and violence, into a family history of lost connections, and into loves forfeited and found-all of which the poet illumines with steady-eyed honesty. Finally, as he confronts a health challenge to the very brain that is the root-place of these sharp and poignant poems, radiation becomes radiance, a hard-won inner light that lets us all see how ‘splendid is our survival.'” –David Groff, author of Clay

 

In All the Rage, Sam Sax turns the poetry of observation into weapon of prayer and resurrection. Here is the eroticism and anger of bearing witness. Here the dead walk again, sometimes right over us, sometimes right through us. Here are open wounds wet with the spit of old lovers and old versions of ourselves, raw, hungry, and unwilling to let us forget what we’ve seen.
