Join us Saturday, February 7, as we welcome several young authors to FBAC for a reading and talk from The Light Looks Like Me: Words on Love From Queer Youth. The talk will start at 3pm followed by a panel discussion with the authors.
The Light Looks Like Me: Words on Love From Queer Youth is an anthology from Shout Mouse Press with work from young people across the LGBTQ+ spectrum exploring what love looks like to them, in all its iterations. These explorations, from young people aged 13-24, moves from poetry to prose to comics to art.
For these young authors, love isn’t just love — it’s light, and their pieces find that light everywhere: in their friends and family, in their communities, and bubbling through their brilliant selves. With a foreword by Malinda Lo, trailblazing author of Ash and the National Book Award winning-author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and creative work by twenty-eight young people, this important book comes at a critical moment. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.
