Join us for the launch of STRANGE BEACH, the debut collection from poet and choreographer Oluwaseun Olayiwola.
Intimate and erotic, ecological and philosophical, the poems in STRANGE BEACH illuminate the body as a porous landscape across which existential dramas, filial fractures and sexual reckonings occur.
STRANGE BEACH also marks the launch of Fitzcarraldo Editions’ new poetry list.
There will be drinks, readings and books for sale.
