Conjunctions and the Lesbian Herstory Archives celebrate the release of Conjunctions:67, Other Aliens with a free public reading from the letters of James Tiptree Jr.

On Wednesday, January 11, at 7:00 p.m., at 484 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY, the LHA will host a gathering of writers and editors who will discuss the importance of Tiptree's work to their reading and writing lives. Each participant will read from Tiptree's letters to science fiction author Joanna Russ, almost all of which were published for the first time this fall in Conjunctions:67, Other Aliens (November 2016).
RSVP on Facebook.
Opening remarks will be given by LHA cofounder Deb Edel. Participants include novelist and Conjunctions editor Bradford Morrow; Conjunctions managing editor and fantastika author Micaela Morrissette; Conjunctions senior editor and Tiptree scholar Nicole Nyhan; LHA coordinator Ashley-Luisa Santangelo; and the renowned fantastika editor Ellen Datlow. Scroll down for more information on the participants.
The event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required, although seating is first come, first served. Optional $10 donations to the LHA are welcome. Light refreshments will be served, and copies of Other Aliens will be available for sale.
The space is fully accessible to those with physical disabilities. Email [email protected] if you plan to attend and require the services of an ASL interpreter.
ABOUT CONJUNCTIONS
Founded in 1981 by editor Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, the literary journal Conjunctions serves those who read dangerously and write fearlessly, provoking and promoting today's most provocative, immaculately crafted fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction. The free edition of online-exclusive content appears weekly, while the print and e-book issues come out twice a year and typically revolve around a central theme such as deception, exile, absence, or obsession.
With Conjunctions' contributors leading those of all other literary magazines when it comes to Pushcart Prizes in fiction, it's no mystery why Rick Moody called Conjunctions "without a doubt, the best literary magazine in America." Karen Russell described the journal as "the mutant menagerie of literary fiction. I read it with Christmas pleasure." And Joyce Carol Oates concurs: "If you like good reading that's also provocative and original, naturally you would be reading Conjunctions."
