“Just as you stop considering loss, the losing presses its remainder,” author C. Rees writes in NOCTUARY, their debut book of poetry. Published by Austin’s own indie press Host Publications, the book considers collective loss and ecology. It’s not light stuff, but it also affects us all, so why not dive in with some fellow poetry lovers? The event also includes an invocation of the dead, tarot, and readings from Austin-based poets Sarah Matthes, Sasha West, and Jennifer Chang. Masks and RSVPs are appreciated. – Charlie Sharpe
