It’s a chapbook; it’s a deck of cards; it’s a celebration; it’s a poetry slam! I Wish I Wasn’t Royalty (Game Over Books, Summer 2020) is a bipolar chapbook you can play, a richly illustrated deck of playing cards created by Catherine Weiss and featuring work from four nationally prominent poets writing about their lived experiences with extreme mood states: Lyd Havens, Taylor Steele, Jaz Sufi, and John-Francis Quiñonez. Tonight’s event will feature work read and performed by the artists, a thematic poetry slam with new work from all-star local poets, and a chance to check out super-secret advance samples of the full playable deck.

This collaborative pre-release event brings together Game Over Books  (http://www.gameoverbooks.com) and the Boston Poetry Slam (http://www.bostonpoetryslam.com).
