Before Halloween turned into a trick-or-treating, sexy cat outfit, candy fest, it was actually marked as the night before All Hallows’ Day, when people paid their respects to the dead and thought a spiritual bond existed between the living and those in heaven. Ignota Books, a publishing project set up in Peru, are gathering for a evening of readings, rituals and music on the day when the living and the dead are supposedly closer than ever. Hear poets Daisy Lafarge, Amy Key, Rebecca Perry and Bhanu Kapil read from Ignota's latest creation ‘Spells: 21st Century Occult Poetry’, join special rituals, listen to tunes from TTB and Lia Mice and wait for those back of neck hairs to stand on end.
