Enjoy this evening of new performances inspired by the book WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON by Venessa Vida Kelley. This queer-historical-romance-fantasy novel is set in 1910s New York and tells the story of a Puerto Rican blacksmith who falls in love with a Merman captured for a Coney Island sideshow. The author will be in attendance to give a reading and to enjoy the new songs, dance and performances inspired by their words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003ePERFORMING:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoy Meets Pearl\u003cbr\u003eHoni Harlow\u003cbr\u003eOksana Horban\u003cbr\u003eStephanie Larriere\u003cbr\u003eParody of Art (Susan and Ed)\u003cbr\u003eDon Rauf\u003cbr\u003eRod and Shamel\u003cbr\u003eKerri Sheehan\u003cbr\u003eSafety Bear\u003cbr\u003eTeresa Toro\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\"The Bushwick Book Club takes humdrum book reading to a new level.\" - - The New York Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBushwick Book Club is literature-derived creative daredevilry using words as fodder for new music, art \u0026amp; hors d'oeuvres.
