Lilac Peril Book Launch
Celebrate the launch of Lilac Peril’s Issue 01, a collection of 30+ trans contributors writing on the topic TABOO. When the fact of our existence is taboo, what do trans people still not want to talk about, even amongst ourselves? Issue 01: TABOO gestures towards this question, taking a hard look at what we would often rather ignore. Join us for a nights of readings, light refreshments, and an auction to benefit the Migrant Solidarity Mutual Aid Network. Lilac Peril is a DC-based small press by and for trans writers, with a particular interest in the subversive and experimental.
