Book Launch: Chivalry in the Shadows
Join us for an exciting afternoon at the Chivalry in the Shadows book launch, where we celebrate the release of this new work by the award-winning writer, Dr. Meg Wahlberg. Taking place on Sunday, September 29, upstairs at Tattooed Mom, the event will offer an opportunity to hear Meg Wahlberg introduce her LGBTQ+ Historical Fiction set in 13th-century Brittany. In this novel, a noblewoman convinces her brother to fight in a tournament that will win him the hand of the Baron’s daughter. The knight soon realizes, though, that there is a secret and forbidden love between the ladies. As the tournament nears, the siblings are faced with the predicament of either forming an alliance… or becoming each other’s romantic rival.
Enjoy an exclusive interview with the author, followed by a theatrical reading and a Q&A session where you can delve deeper into the themes of the book. Dr. Wahlberg, a medievalist specializing in the High and Late Middle Ages, also welcomes any questions you might have about medieval culture, literature, and what we know about queer identities of this time. Attendees will have the chance to purchase signed copies and mingle with fellow book lovers.

A Night of Sapphic Poetry
For you, beautiful women, my thoughts are unchanging.
The Greek poet Sappho composed heart-wrenching verses of lesbian love over two thousand years ago. Now her lyrics exist only in scattered fragments. Still, they have inspired WLW lovers and artists through millennia, enduring as some of the most potent queer love poetry in human history.Join us for a night of reading Sappho’s remaining lyrics and composing our own Sappho-inspired poetry, which will be shared open mic-style. Miriam Kamil, Sappho expert and classics professor at Bryn Mawr College, will lead our exploration through Sappho’s work, followed by a sapphic poetry-writing workshop led by Philadelphia-based, award-winning queer poets Maya Workowski and Sarah Gamard.
