Please join on us on Sunday, February 8th, for a book launch to celebrate the publication of Nazareth Hassan’s Slow mania by Futurepoem at CARA (Center for Art,
Research and Alliances) 225 West 13th Street, NY, NY.

Doors 3:30 pm, Reading and reception: 4 pm - 6 pm

With readings by: Nazareth Hassan, Phillip Kenner, Elliot Reed, Benedict Nguyễn, and Charles Theonia.
Slow mania was selected for publication by Futurepoem guest editors Gabriela Jáuregui, Shiv Kotecha, and Ronaldo V. Wilson.

Using fluid prose, sardonic poetry, textural photography, and sprawling performance scores, Nazareth Hassan’s second book is a psychogeographical text that weaves a portrait of the complications of self-acceptance. The text follows multiple unnamed characters, all of whom narrate the inner life of the space and people around them as they navigate toxic cityscapes, breathless relationships, public violence, and indiscriminate release. Alienation becomes a guiding light, leading them to richer versions of themselves.

Nazareth Hassan is a writer, director, musician, and performer. Slow mania is their second book.
