September 5th @ 7pm.

Join us on September 5th for Summer Nights on Jupiter curated by Stephen Boyer and hosted by 
Le Petit Versailles. This September will be the final installment of Summer Nights on Jupiter at Le Petit Versailles so come join us for the magick before winter freezes us into our beds... this month we'll have readings and performances by Jsmn Gibson, Kaitlyn Greenidge, Kate Huh, Eileen Myles and CA Conrad...

Rain or shine we'll be amongst the flowers.

About us:

Stephen Boyer is a novelist, poet, performer but would rather be on Jupiter, obviously.
