Welcome to Queer Reads, Queer Space Bristol's monthly book club.
For our last read of the year we will be discussing ‘My Life In Sea Creatures’ by Sabrina Imbler. This collection of essays explores the diverse creatures of the ocean and what we can learn from them about identity and gender.
Content Information: This book contains graphic depictions and discussions of sexual violence, eating disorders, and systemic discrimination.
You might like to get your copy of My Life In Sea Creatures from one of the following Independent bookstores:
Gays The Word
Bookhaus
The Bookish Type
Very Small Bookshop
Queer Reads is led by Milly, a Bristol based freelance writer with a love for storytelling. She has a life-long passion for books, spending most of her childhood buried in pages for days at a time. This led her on to complete an English Literature with Creative Writing degree, which nurtured this love. But throughout her reading journey, she has noticed a distinct lack of queer representation in popular literature. So as a way to remedy this she has created a queer reads book club, to meet others who share this passion and to facilitate conversations around queer reading.
Queer Space Bristol programmes and produces a wide range of creative and wellbeing workshops and events for members of the LGBTQIA+ community in Bristol & the Southwest. Our focus is on providing a supportive & affirming space where participants and audiences can explore their creativity, self expression and wellbeing.
Venue: This months bookclub takes place in person at Watershed Cafe, in the Waterside Corridor. The watershed building is accessible, with both gender neutral and gender specific toilets as well as two accessible toilets. You can read more about their facilities on their website.
