Join writers D Mortimer and Clay AD as they celebrate the release of their books Last Night A Beef Jerk Saved My Life and Holy Bodies, both published by Pilot Press, and which both use genrebending, hybrid literary forms to deal with themes of transmasculine identity, the disabled body, community, healing and love.
D Mortimer’s Last Night a Beef Jerk Saved My Life is a wonderful and thoughtful reflection on love and beauty and bodies and music and memories, and on the constellations of small things that make up modern queer life.
– Huw Lemmey
Clay AD knows at an ancient and prescient level that, to quote from their book, 'shit is all life', but also that life is the shit, and the sunset, and the endgame. One for our immuno-suppressed comrades, shit theorists, pink salt throwers, and their lovers and friends, that is, I hope, everyone.
– Isabel Waidner
There will be readings by the authors followed by a short conversation led by the writer Donna Marcus.
Clay AD is a somatic bodyworker, artist and writer living in Glasgow. Their books include Metabolize, If Able (Arcadia Missa, 2017) and Holy Bodies (Pilot Press, 2022).
D Mortimer is a writer and artist living in London. Last Night a Beef Jerk Saved My Life (Pilot Press, 2021) is their first book.
