Back in November, I announced that Rebel Santori Press was about to release Invisible History: The Collected Poems of Walta Borawski --edited by our very own Philip Clark and Michael Bronski, the poet's partner. As the press release noted, the collection "marks the return of a singular poet, Walta Borawski (1947-1994) for new generations to enjoy." Philip will be giving the first D.C. reading from the book at Little District Books on Sunday, May 7, at 6:30 p.m.; see this EventBrite page for details. You don't have to RSVP, but it helps the bookstore to know how many attendees to plan for. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
If you'd like to know more about Walta and his poetry in advance, here is a Facebook page devoted to it. You can also check out this review on the Out in Print blog, which has called Invisible History one of the 10 best books of 2022. It is also one of four finalists for the Publishing Triangle's Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry.
