A reading group focusing on literature through a queer lens, hosted monthly at Chicago’s premier bookstore for the LGBTQ community. Alternating between the “classics” of gay fiction and contemporary, historically underrepresented voices, we read to explore queer experience across literary genres and eras! For questions about this club, email us here!

 

*A club for all things speculative – from Science Fiction, to Fantasy, and maybe even a pinch of Horror*
Join us each month for a serious discussion of cool speculative works, or to just geek out over the pewpewlaserbeam! From cutting edge to classics, the goal is to have fun and explore as far as exploration will go! For questions about this club, email us here!

Join our Poetry Service
Book Club to unearth evocative
expressions of life delivered
by a diverse selection of poets.

Once a month we will offer a collection of poetry

We hope to see you there!
