HAGS, the Halifax Area Gossip & Literary Society, reads a book and then gathers over drinks and snacks to discuss what they thought about it.
Lambda Literary Award finalist, MY BODY IS YOURS, is a memoir about fathers and sons, breaking out of gender norms, and reconciling with a dangerous childhood.
Michael V. Smith is a force of nature: a novelist, poet, improv comic, filmmaker, drag queen, performance artist, and occasional clown.
