Over the years, KFB has held a long, storied. passionate relationship with CACONRAD and WAVE BOOKS that continues with their return to TORONTO, SATURDAY MAY 6TH 7PM at the SPADINA THEATRE to celebrate by reading The Book of Frank in it’s entirety on the 30th Anniversary of its appearance.

Called ‘a contemporary masterpiece’ by Thurston Moore, a ‘desert island book’ by Anne Boyer and ‘this generation’s Dream Songs‘ by Maggie Nelson, The Book of Frank is one of the crucial poetic works of this century so far.

“A visceral, surrealist tale of becoming, from the shamanic cult hero of contemporary queer poetry…”
