Ayize Jama-Everett in Boston for A Table of Our Own & at Book Moon

Mon 25 Mar 2024 - Filed under: Not a Journal., , | Posted by: Gavin

Ayize Jama-Everett is coming over from Oakland to Boston on Wednesday March 27 for a showing of his documentary, A Table of Our Own: A Documentary About Black People and Psychedelics. I’ll put the trailer below.

Since we don’t do events at Book Moon, I’ve set up an informal drop-in with him to sign books this coming Friday Thursday at 2 p.m.

If you don’t know Ayize, he was born in Harlem, has traveled a fair bit, holds three Master’s degrees (Divinity, Psychology, and Creative Writing), and has worked as a bookseller, professor, and therapist. Besides the Liminal series of novels, he has published three graphic novels with Rosarium and Abrams Press, and has written for The Believer, Los Angeles Review of Books, and Racebaitr.

His Liminal novels are fast-paced alternate now (and then: alternate reality) science fiction which pack a punch in many different social and speculative dimensions. Hope to see you there.
