Taffety Punk company member Teresa Spencer is back on book tour at Wyrd Bookstore in Edgewater Friday October 18th at 6pm! Join us for an evening of smashing the patriarchy, with readings from TOO LIKE THE LIGHTNING: PROSE POEMS TO MY ALMOST LOVES with Teresa and featuring Punk guest Dawn Thomas Reidy. This illustrated collection of love poems to catcallers, followers home, online trolls, and other sundry unsavory types is a bitingly funny takedown of the harasser’s gaslight: “I was just paying you a compliment.” So what if it were a compliment? Too Like the Lightning imagines love stories who first sparks are those too-brief missed connections on the street.

We’ll have mad-lib poems so you can create your own romantic missive and Teresa will take your questions, hear your missed connections, and sign your copies of Too Like the Lightning.
