Gays The Word: Spacecraft & The Fire-Eaters Lover � A Poetry Reading with Sophia Blackwell and John

Join us at Gay's the Word for an evening of stunning poetry with two fantastic writers and performers, Sophia Blackwell and John McCullough. 3 on the door with free refreshments provided. Please RSVP here on Facebook. The Fire-Eater's Lover by Sophia Blackwell The Fire-Eater's Lover is about performance of all kinds. Whether it's the rituals of seduction, the trials and triumphs of squeezing into a red vintage dress or the adrenalin of putting a microphone to your lips, these poems are filled with the joy of performing. The Fire-Eater's Lover conjures together scraps of everything from classic blues songs to job rejection letters, marriage proposals and medical questionnaires, and whips them into a circus of illicit sex, love lost and found and moments of illumination.
