lategram from the publisher's hall at UAAC's Montreal conference, with my books Out of School & Variable Conditions @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social's table, and Alexandra Dumais at @revue-esse.bsky.social's table, with the magazine's very rock-and-roll-looking current issue on "Tongues" front and centre
