Hear poet David Southward read from his new collection, Queer Physics (Kelsay Books, 2025). A lyrical ode to queer existence, the book explores childhood encounters with pop culture, mid-life reflections on aging and relationships, and healing immersion in the beauties of nature and art. If you love the sound of words, Southward’s rhythmic verse is sure to delight!

A book sale and signing will follow the reading (cash, check, and Venmo/PayPal accepted).
