Left Bank Books welcomes performer and author Chloe O. Davis, who will discuss her debut book, “The Queens’ English: The LGBTQIA+ Dictionary of Lingo and Colloquial Phrases” on Facebook Live.

“The Queens’ English” is a comprehensive guide to modern gay slang, queer theory terms, and playful colloquialisms that define and celebrate LGBTQIA+ culture. This modern dictionary provides an in-depth look at queer language, from terms influenced by celebrated lesbian poet Sappho and from New York’s underground queer ball culture in the 1980s to today’s celebration of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

All you need to do to participate is log in to your personal Facebook account, go to Left Bank Books’ Facebook Live Page, and wait for the livestream to begin on the page (you may need to refresh the page periodically until the stream begins). You may also watch the simulcast on Left Bank’s website.
