Queer Syllabus Celebration with Foglifter and The Rumpus

Local Lounge 3536 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

Join Foglifter and The Rumpus for an offsite event celebrating the Queer Syllabus, a collaborative project with the goal of identifying the foundational texts of queer literature. This is an act of community and education, but it’s also an act of resistance: When we identify our roots and point to the work that shaped us as writers and as people, we demonstrate that our stories are timeless, essential, and important—and so are we. Enjoy new work by contemporary queer writers, and go home with an underrated queer read courtesy of our gay book swap.
