Saeed Jones: Prelude to Bruise

Poet and Buzzfeed LGBT editor Jones's debut collection is ferocious and charged with physicality, deftly weaving themes of identity, race and sexuality into electric lines of verse. Join him at Nuyorican Poets Cafe to celebrate Prelude to Bruise with readings by special guests Rigoberto Gonzalez and Kiese Laymon, a DJ set and, of course, cake.
