Come celebrate two decades worth of KEEPING BOOKS DANGEROUS and get your copy of Psalms From The Badlands before it officially hits the shelves at this multimedia retrospective/book launch.
As with all things DrunkSkull, it should be a good time!
Timothy Gager’s long-running series continues, and here at the HQ we’re delighted to be invited to share a little bit from Psalms From The Badlands.
Psalms comes to Ruben Quesada’s sweeping, monthly virtual reading series [and literary arts not-for-profit organization] that promotes literature and fosters a diverse and welcoming community for writers and readers.
Pop in to hear a vast array of talents and voices from all over!
Here at the HQ we’re jazzed to soon be part of the Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast with host James Morehead. The format involves a chat + some readings from the forthcoming Psalms From The Badlands so I hope you’ll find some time to listen at the following link:

Join us for what I imagine will be a wide-ranging early conversation about Psalms From The Badlands as Steven Miletto graciously shines a light on not only the book but some of what we get up to here at the HQ!

In support of the terrific and truly independent SMOL FAIR, DrunkSkull Books and the Dead Bird Gang are proud to offer up a drunk poem animation watch party!
It's an early salvo in what promises to be a years-long campaign to create animations for all of the poems from A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST. From rotoscoping to traditional 2D animation to claymation, the poems are brought to life by animators and narrators the world over!
